By using Scripture, testimony, and practical illustrations, the message aims to help Christians recognize these obstacles, strengthen their faith, and walk in the freedom that Jesus Christ has already provided. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane challenges believers with the powerful question: âDo you want to be free?â Drawing from John 12:40 and other Scriptures, she explains how hardened hearts and unbelief prevent many from experiencing healing, peace, and deliverance. Just as rulers in Jesusâ day valued the approval of men over God, many today place more trust in doctors, medication, or worldly systems than in Christ as their ultimate healer. Lisa shares her personal testimony of overcoming depression and later walking away from dependence on multiple medications, illustrating how faith in Jesusârather than reliance on manâs reportâbrings true freedom. She shows how unbelief blinds people, while faith, strengthened through Godâs Word and testimonies, releases healing and restoration. Through biblical examples of the disciplesâ hardened hearts and the miracles Jesus performed, Lisa emphasizes that unbelief limits Godâs work, but faith unlocks His power. The message concludes by urging believers to make a choice: let go of fear, doubt, and self-imposed chains, and fully trust Jesus as Lord over their health, mind, and life. True freedom comes when we believe His Word, speak it with authority, and walk in the victory already secured through the cross. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Friday, September 15, 2023. Welcome. This message is called, "Do you want to be free?" It's a very good question to ask because did you know that you're putting your own obstacles in front of your freedom? Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We know that your word does not return void. We know that your word is true. We know that we can believe and have faith in you, Father God. So, I do pray and ask that you help us with our unbelief. Raise our faith. Raise our belief and let us hear your testimony and know that you are true and that you are real. And that yes, we can live in freedom from bondage from sickness, from disease, from any chains that are holding us back in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be at John 12 and 40. He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn so that I should heal them. Jesus is talking, but he's also quoting the scripture from Isaiah. So, he's already said this through Isaiah well before his crucifixion at the cross. So the question is do you want to be free? There are things that we put in place of Jesus will believe a doctor's report over what Jesus says. Now in this message I'm going to share my testimony. Uh I have a couple areas of testimony I want to share with you. So I'm going to have less scriptures than I ordinarily do when I teach. But I think the power of the testimony is going to help you with your faith. And then at the same time, I'm going to show you scripture of why how Jesus was able to heal and then how he wasn't able to heal and the things that we put in place. So I want to see the scripture one more time. Look at this. He blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts un lest they should see with their eyes. So in other words, if you see, look at that. And if you understand with your heart and you turn, get away from what you're keeping yourself in bondage from so that I should heal them. You can be healed. You see, your unbelief is what's keeping you from being healed. Let's go look at things that we put above Jesus that keeps us from our healing. Let's start here in John 12:42 and 43. Nevertheless, even among the rulers. So he's talking about all these things that he did that were miracles and he says nevertheless. So these guys saw the miracles. Nevertheless, even among the rulers, many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue, for they love the praise of men more than the praise of God. They didn't want to be kicked out of the synagogue. So instead of believing in him for one, their salvation, for eternal life, but two, for the deliverance and the healing from whatever is keeping them bonded, they chose the synagogue to believe. We can put this in another application. Do you choose the doctor? Do you believe what the doctor tells you? Or do you believe that Jesus is your doctor and your healer? You know, Isaiah tells us that it was by his stripes we are healed. Peter tells us that it was by his stripes we were healed. Fact that it's quoted a second time is very powerful. His stripes is what healed us. You can be healed. And bondage um let's talk a little bit about bondage chains. When you're in bondage, there's several things that are going on. You are struggling believing. You're struggling being well because you're always sick. You're struggling with things that are going on in your life. I It's drama after drama after drama and you can't figure out why. You have no peace and no joy. Those are telltale signs that you are in bondage. And you're in bondage because of you. You did it. You thrive on that drama. So what happens is you put yourself in a situation where you make it so that drama happens more. I know of a couple who is struggling right now and um so working on helping prevent divorce. The other is now going to try to film the other. You see they're promoting their drama. They're getting sympathy for their drama. And because they're getting that sympathy, they don't want that drama to go away. And then of course, if the doctor's telling you you have cancer, you know, there's things going on in the back of your mind. The reason you went in to be tested, you knew something was up. So here you are is you already are thinking in your mind, I knew it. That's why the report says what it says. Don't you know that Jesus is a healer? He's your healer. The bonds and then the the decisions that you make, you know, if you were to remove that item from your life, would you get sympathy and love from anyone else in the world? You see, there's a big problem. We love the interaction with our psychiatrist. It's our friend. We want to be there. Instead of having the same interaction only better with Jesus, you pick and you choose and you put yourself in bondage. So when you do something like that, what is it that you need to do to get out of that? Because it's now your problem. You did it. You got to get yourself out. Now Jesus is there to help you, but he's already given you all the tools in the word of God. And I'm going to show you even the disciples struggled with this. Well, let's let's go here to Mark 6:52. For they had not understood about the loaves because their heart was hardened. Just did a teaching on this. This is where he taught the five or fed the 5,000 um five loaves and two fish I believe it was. And as they had 12 baskets left over of food, bread and fish, and the disciples hearts were hardened. They didn't pause. They didn't think about it. They didn't let it impact their heart. So, they didn't believe, but they were witnesses to it. So, Jesus is identifying the hardness of their heart. Let's continue on. Now, further along, we're in Mark 8. Look at verses 17- 21. But Jesus being aware of it said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread?" So here they're going into um an area that they're going to teach and the disciples forgot to bring bread. They've already fed 5,000. Look what he says here. Why do you reason because you have no bread? You see Jesus asked a question here about the leaven and the Pharisees. You can go read this all in context. Homework for you is what I give you. And because their heart, their mind went to, oh, he found out we forgot the bread. And so he he knows, he says, look, why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Is your heart still hardened? You see, he's telling you, you are just witnesses to some pretty good miracles, and your heart is still hardened. Does Does miracles really work? Do you know how many people will reject a video that they see? Let's say even in the back of my mind, I saw a video of a woman's arm being restored. It was um she was born with it twisted and and but you can just see it untwisted, but sometimes I wonder is that fake? But I I always go back to no, that was real. And I believe and the reason I see that is because of the the other context behind the video. So, I believe, but there are many who won't. They'll say that's a hoax. This one wasn't a hoax. Let's continue on. Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? You see, he's now pointing it back to the disciples. This is your problem. You're the one who is purposely forgetting. You're the one who is purposely hardening your heart. Now, continue on with the scripture. We're in verse 19. When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of fragments did you take of it? And they said to him, 12. And then also, when I broke the seven for the 4,000, "How many large baskets full of fragments did you take him?" And they said, "Seven." And he said to them, So he said to them, "How is it you do not understand?" You see, you should understand that's a miracle. Jesus blessed bread and he kept giving it out. Imagine if you bless your body with good health. It keeps getting blessed and it keeps getting multiplied. Do you not see the healing? All it takes is you blessing yourself and remembering. Imagine saying Jesus is the son of God. And he is Lord over cancer. He is Lord over this body. He is Lord over my mind. He is Lord over my heart. This is the power of the word of God. And you need to remember it because as you forget, your hearts become hardened. And what happens when you're forgetting? What's causing you to forget? Your eyes are on the world. Your eyes are not on the scripture. Your eyes are not remembering. This is why I want to share my testimony. one, I want to remember what the Lord has done in my life. At the same time though, I want you to hear the testimony and I want you to believe because you were already healed. You're already free. You're free. You just don't know it yet, but you already are. And your words can make you free. Look at Matthew 13:57 and 58. So they were offended at him. These are the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and these are the people in his own hometown. He grew up with these people. This is Jesus in his own town. Look what he says. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house. Now he did not do many works there because of their unbelief." So your unbelief prevents God from healing you. You see, you choose to believe the doctor. You don't choose to believe Jesus. And because of that decision, you are now in unbelief. Did you hear that? I want you to remember this. You're now in unbelief. Well, how do I get out of that unbelief? You You've got to now make a new decision. You need to undo the decision you made. You have to forget. See, he's you already know how to forget. Forget what the doctor told you. If you can forget Jesus and his testimonies and his power of his word, you can certainly forget the doctor. You believe it so much you don't want to forget. You believe it so much that you hold on to it dear for dear life. So when people at church pray over you, you're like, "Oh, I just can't. I know it ain't going to work. Why am I here? This is embarrassing. Do you see what you're doing to your own life? And then you wonder why you're in the situation. Look to yourself. Look to your unbelief. This is very, very powerful. I want to show you something else here. Mark 16:14. Later he appeared to the 11. This is after he rose from the dead. Okay? He is risen from the dead. Watch what he says to his disciples later. He appeared to the 11 as he sat at the table and he rebuked he rebuked his own disciples. Jesus is rebuking you right now for your lack of unbelief or your lack of belief as unbelief. And he rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. The people are telling he's risen. He's risen. No, I don't believe it. I saw him die. And and that is their physical proof that they're believing. They're now believing their own eyes, their own witness. I saw him die. They didn't remember what he said to them. They were in unbelief. You know what that is? In order for you to remember what Jesus says, you have to spend time in the Bible over and over again until it impacts here and here. That's the only way you're going to remember what he says. This is part of the relationship factor that you need to have. This is also the part that leads you to freedom. You do not need to be in bondage. You see, he's going to teach you in that relationship how to use your words to prevent you from getting into the situation and then to undo what you've already done. You did this. Now, I want to show you um another event that Jesus dealt with. Uh we're going to do this from Matthew 14:34 and 36. I want you to see how this goes. When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Guanesseret. And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to him all who were sick, and begged him that they might only touch the hem of his garden garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well. Now, we just saw where they didn't believe and he couldn't do any miracles because they didn't believe. Now he's in a region that says they believed and they were bringing the sick left to him, left and right to him. You had the woman with the issue of blood. If only I could touch the hem of his garment. You saw that referring to her there. You you have the situation where two men brought their paralyzed friend and had to climb the roof and open the roof and bring him down in front of Jesus for Jesus to heal him. And you know what? in the woman with the issue of the blood and this paralyzed man. Jesus didn't heal them. He said your ma your faith made them healed. Well, they were whole because of their faith. They believed because they were hearing testimonies and to them all they had to do was get them to Jesus and all Jesus did was acknowledge your faith healed them. In other words, you got to get to Jesus. Find your way into the word of God. Read and believe. And I mean believe it from cover to cover. And don't believe it as stories. Believe it as events. As of the living word of God that these are true events. This is history written and that you can speak it and have it over your life. Now why did this group of people believe? There was testimony going around. Look Mark 5:16-17 and Luke 8 and37. And those who saw it told him how it happened to him who had been demonpossessed and about the swine. Then they began to plead with him to depart from the region. Do you see it? Go read the event of Jesus casting out a demon called Legion. And that he told the legion they can go into these pigs. And the pigs ran off the cliff and were killed. Those people that saw that said, "You need to leave." Look it. They began to plead with him to depart from their region. They saw this powerful miracle. They see this miracle. They see power. They see authority. And they say, "Get away. I don't want to have anything to do with you." Look also in Luke 8:37. Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the gatherines asked him to depart from them for they were seized with great fear and he got into the boat and returned. Now he's going to return to the other side. He had crossed this uh lake went from one side to the other. He cast out this demon. They didn't believe. They said get go away. So he goes back to the other side. In the meantime that demonpossessed man asked you and this is Homer. I want to give this to you because I want to share my testimony and give the time for the testimony. He this demonpossessed man who's now free. He's no longer in bondage. He asked Jesus, "Can I go with you?" Jesus said, "Stay here. I need you to tell I want you to show yourself to the people and I want you to tell them what happened to you." And so he stayed. And so when, watch this, Luke 8:38-4. Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged him that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, "Return to your own house and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed the throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. So it was when Jesus returned that the multitude welcomed him for they were all await. They were all waiting for him. Now they sent him out. They were afraid. Now they're welcoming him because they're finally realizing this man is truly healed. And if he was healed, I can be healed. Now, when Jesus was quoting Isaiah earlier, look at what else is in that same chapter or earlier in Isaiah, excuse me, Isaiah 610. Make the heart of this people dull and their ears heavy and shut their eyes. Look at this. Lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and return and be healed. You can be healed if your eyes you can see with your eyes. You can hear with your ears. You understand in your heart and return. Return to who? Return to Jesus. Now Isaiah is talking to the nation of Israel. He's telling them to return to God. Same thing. Jesus is saying return to me and I can heal you. You have to deal with your unbelief. So let's talk about belief and decisions. And and I'm going to go into my testimony. Let me go to my earliest testimony. So over 30 years ago, I was dealing with depression. Didn't even know it. All I know is for about three weeks there, I was an ugly person. very ugly. And I went to the Lord and you know I always had a relationship with the Lord. I became a believer when I was six years old. I was water baptized when I was nine. And um I'm a I was married at this point when I was doing this. So early on in my marriage, too. But anyways, I remember um praying to God. I always have time with the Lord, always share time with him. And um I asked, "What's going on with me?" And I clearly I hear and understand from him whether it's a voice in my head or what I don't know all I know is I hear and say depression and my first reaction was oh no no no no that's not who I am you see as a believer in Christ I already knew who I am and it was not a depressed individual I may not have been living in joy. Yes, I was a mother at the time. Yes, I was married. But I knew I'm not a depressed individual. So, I decided to go deal with it. I went up to my bedroom, told my husband, "Leave me alone for a little while. I got to deal with this." Shut the door, and uh I went before the Lord, prayed, and then I said out loud straight up, "Demon, depression, you're not welcome here in the name of Jesus." And then I said it again. And then I said it again because I wasn't seeing anything happening. And I was like, "Nope, nope. We're not done." And in the spirit, basically what I did was I grabbed that demon by the front of his shirt and I beat the living whatever out of him because I kept saying it over and over again. And I refused to let him stay there. This was my faith that I was building up with Jesus. And you know, I went to bed that night laying there because I still hadn't seen anything. I just knew it wasn't going to happen. I already knew, nope, not going to have this problem. And I'm laying there and I went to sleep, still thinking it in my mind. Fell asleep thinking it in my mind, saying it in my mind. Get out of here, de. You're not welcome here. That's it. That's it. When I woke up that next morning, I'm going tell you right now, you want to feel freedom, you need to do that. Do that over depression. Do that over any um suicidal thoughts you're facing, just keep saying that over and over again. Go to bed that way in the name of Jesus. Make sure you use the name of Jesus. I woke up feeling fantastic. There was no more darkness. There was no more depression in me. And in fact, my physical body felt like I had been in a boxing match. Remember I told you I grabbed it by the shirt? I bet every punch I hit him with, he hit one back at me. But you know what? I've never dealt with it again. It tries to creep up every once in a while and I I look at it like, I already kicked your butt. Get out of here. That is a testimony. And by the way, for anyone who has seen me later in life, didn't know me then, and you see me now, you know that I walk in joy. that I have a smile on my face often when I don't I may be dealing with something and I just go to the Lord and that is my testimony there. Now I've also have been teaching and saying that sin has consequences for diseases and that you need to cast them out but it has to do with unbelief and it has to do with the words that you say. So here comes the next part of my testimony and this just happened this year. This is why I'm teaching this. So remember the question of this message is do you want to be free? So I had surgery like 10 year uh in 2010 I had uh four discs fused in my neck. Technically I shouldn't be able to do any of that. Uh I remember seeing a particular doctor for some dizziness at one time and they make you move your head get the crystals back where they belong and what have you. And he's like wow you you have a lot of movement. You can move. I go yeah well I follow the instructions. instructions told me to stretch and and I believed the doctors, okay? I believed I trusted in the doctors. I've been going to the doctor since I was young. So, you know, but as time went on, uh I was told, you know, I had heart palpitations. They put me on a heart monitor. I had heart issues when my daughter was born. So, I always knew in my mind I was going to be dealing with the heart. I'm g tell you those words affect you. So I had these palpitations and uh they monitor gave me medication for it because there was proof. Remember what I said. Do you believe the doctors? Do you believe what you think you know is true? Here I was in that mentality and uh you know they get you in with that. I had a lot of bladder infections back then too and I had to deal with all of that. Always getting antibiotics, always going in, always asking questions. Why? Why? Why? Why? And then of course as they do your physical, well, we need to do your physical. Oh, your cholesterol is high. Oh, your sugar is high. Next thing I know, I'm on cholesterol medication and I was on um diabetes medication. And then, you know, I was having the hot flashes and menopause and what have you. Now I was on hormonal medication. That was me up to uh about March of this year, end of February, early March of this year. And uh I decided I didn't want to deal with that anymore. And and I knew I can overcome because you know what? After I had that next surgery, I probably was on that tramodol stuff for like six, seven years, painkiller. And I finally decided to stop taking that and I did fine, successful, you know, was a little tough there for a few days, but then get past it and move on. And I remember you know thinking all right I have overcome so many things why and it dawned on me you know why am I taking all these medications and I decided no nope nope here comes that attitude do what attitude do you have well the doctor said I'm gonna tell you right now I wouldn't trust and believe in the doctor for everything granted there are times that doctors are need you cut off your arm or something you need a doctor. Okay, cut off a toe. You need a doctor. But for other things, there's things that they don't know. And even, you know, when I say cut off an arm or a a toe, remember Peter, the ear of the servant, he cut off in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus picked up the ear and put it back on. He was healed. So don't let me limit you in what you can believe. Okay? Don't let yourself limit you on what you can believe either. gotta think God like if he can create this world. He's your doctor. So I decided, you know, if I can cast out depression, I can definitely cast out diabetes and cholesterol. And I tried. Spent the whole evening. Went to bed thinking that same thing. Woke up next morning, nothing happened. I was like, "What's going on, Lord?" So in February of this year, got out here. Uh, I went to um Missouri. We were looking for a place to live. We ended up moving out here and um we went to a church called James River Church. I went and got prayed over by one of the elders or prayer workers there. And you know, it's interesting what he tells me. He told me to do the exact same thing I had already done with depression. Go in, cast it out. Of course, he's telling me monitor your meter and watch it and watch the numbers come down. So, I go home. We get back to Southern California and I'm watching this meter. I did the same thing. Went cast it out. Watch the meter for the week and nothing happened. And I'm sitting there like, "All right, Lord. I don't know what's going on here, but something's up." And so I started praying and I was curious. I'm like, "Lord, you said I was already healed. I should be healed. This should have worked. I've been in prayer. I declared the name of Jesus. These are things I've been teaching and preaching, by the way, for many years. I should be able to apply his word to my life and live it free. I should not be in bondage to medications I have to take to make my body operate on earth that he made my body for. I shouldn't have allergies. I shouldn't have anything. I shouldn't even get a headache to to be honest. I should not. And I remember, you know, I started seeing videos come across my um social media feed, videos about the hoax of cholesterol. Found out in researching that the brain is coated in a layer of cholesterol. And the biggest side effect for cholesterol reducing medications was Alzheimer's. Now, I had seen my mother-in-law pass away from Alzheimer's and I was like, "Wait, what?" And by the way, I had been taking I finally uh for like two months there I took it every other day. I was getting lightheaded and I knew it was cholesterol medication because my diet was see I was already being healed and I didn't even realize what was going on and I was getting lightheaded and I remember the physician's assistant that I met with over diabetes, they go over all your other medications with you faithfully, too. Oh, why didn't you get your cholesterol filled? I go, well, I'm only taking one every other day now instead of one every day. Oh, you can't do that. Go make me lightheaded and oh, but we have to run tests to see. Um, anyways, I said, I I'll make an appointment with the doctor and got off the phone with her. And so I remember learning about that and uh you know realizing on that cholesterol things like uh I remember Barbara O'Neal talking about it coming from down from oh it used to be you can have a cholesterol number 300 then it was 200 then it was 196 and I was like are they picking numbers out of the hat or did they run some tests here and that was the thing is they could not provide the test that showed that it had anything to do with you know heart disease. And then um for the diabetes, the Lord was reminding me of some things. I was thinking of the conversation I had with my doctor previously. He was talking about people who are 80 years old and older and that their A1C can be 8.0, not a not below seven. He says the reason for that is because they get too laded and they can fall, break their hip. they're at a greater risk of that than heart disease. And I'm sitting there going, "Wait a second." And I pause. My my thought process all of a sudden went, "Wait a minute. They're 80 years old and older. They made an adjustment for them. Why didn't they make an adjustment between men and women? We're different sexes. We should have different levels. We're built different. We have different hormones. H why does it everybody has to be 7.0? And that's when I started realizing well 7.0 and lower for A1C. That's when I started realizing every time I hit that 6.9 they changed medication where I was back over seven because I got it down pat. I mean I was good with that medication. I was getting up faithfully every morning at 5 5:30 and my blood sugar was always around 80 79 to 81 always I I was hitting my targets believe you and me I was doing very well I had this down pat and even when they change your medication would take me about six months or so I'd get it back down but I'm realizing all of this and then there I was either driving to church or driving home and this is when the Lord I was praying And I was like, Lord, I'm not understanding what's going on here. And I said, why can't you make this meter match what the doctor's saying? And the epiphany was, I'm your god. I'm your doctor. Do you really think they know what your sugar levels should be? Do you really trust that they know what numbers your body is supposed to be? And I had this vision of like taking a Rolls-Royce to a Toyota Camry or Toyota company to fix a Rolls-Royce when in reality I should be taking back the car to its original maker company for service and repairs. And all of a sudden, I'm thinking, I didn't I'm not taking my body to Jesus. And then with all the epiphies I was having, it dawned on me. I didn't have diabetes to cast out in the first place. They were diagnosing me this just to put me on medication so they can make money and I have to live on this stuff. Do you know that was the only time I ever had any lows was when I was on medication. not with my natural body the way the Lord made it. So, in a leap of faith, and yes, it takes faith. And by the way, this was the hardest thing to do for me because I had done this before. And I failed at it. I'll just put it that way. But I put all those medication. I got rid of all the medications. I didn't refill any of them. Put them all down. Got rid of them all. I said, "No more, Lord. I'm not taking any of this. My body is in your hands." And do you know those doctors and those uh physicians assist assistants and thearmacies very faithful you don't fill your prescription they call you. We didn't move for another three months. And I remember uh not one single person reached out to me why I wasn't getting my medication. Because the demons, the familiar spirits around us, the ones that knew me, already knew I let go and my faith healed me. I was completely healed. I had no heart palpitations. Do you know there was a sign I have when I would wake up in the mornings and I'd have 80 as my uh sugar and uh my right ear would always drain. I I don't know why it would do that. When it got low, when my blood sugar get low, I knew right away because the right ear was draining. Well, after I put all that down, guess what? My right ear was still draining. And I said, "Ah, Lord, my body is fine. My body was never broken to begin with because I believed a lie. I believed what the doctor said. And the doctor has no idea what he or she is been trained to put you on. They think they're doing you a good job to save you from heart attacks and what have you. You know, if you're having heart issues, take a little bit of water, put like a eighth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in there, and just chug it. I promise you, you will not have any heart issues anymore after that. It It works with your blood flow. It clears your cholesterol. It clears it all. And I've done that. And you only have to do that, especially if you're coming from where it's been bad and you weren't doing that. Take a few days. Do it once a day and you're ready to go. Anytime you start to feel like a little sharp pain in your heart, fix them some, and you're perfectly fine. Your body, the herbs that the Lord has provided from the earth is here to heal you. So, what do you believe? Do you want to be free? You know, are you believing what the doctors are telling you? I promise you, I went through this and I am a walking testimony to tell you that I'm free. I'm not in chains, bound to this earth and the way it lives. I'm already living my eternity with the Lord. I just haven't got there yet out of my flesh. But one day I will. This flesh will die. It it dies. You know, all of the raising from the dead that Jesus did, all those people, they died again. Lazarus had to die again. The bones that were laid on Elisha, he was raised from the dead, he he died again. The 12-year-old girl in this uh scene here in this uh event period of time that I talked about with the Legion, she was one of the ones that was healed here. trying to think it was Jaire's daughter and she was healed. Um she was dead. God raised her from the dead. She had to die again eventually. We all are appointed to die. So the only way you're not going to age to die is when you eliminate sin out of your life. And you're thinking, I can't do that. Actually, you can. Do you know that I spend time with the Lord every and every time you spend time with him? You're not sinning. So, do you want to spend time in the world or do you want to spend time in the word of God? Again, this is your choice. You're the one who's putting yourself in your situation. I promise you that even if you take out all the drama, you take out all the medical stuff, you will have an awesome relationship with the one you can trust, who will never stab you in the back. That is Jesus Christ, our Messiah. He is the one who is faithful and true. He is the one who has healed us. You need to choose. If you really want freedom, you got to unlearn what you've learned. You got to let it go. Speak the name of Jesus over your heart. I And that's what I had been doing, by the way, all that time when I was praying. I said, "Lord, you are Lord Jesus over cholesterol. You are Lord Jesus over the heart. You are Lord Jesus over diabetes." And I k Previous Next Home

WALKING IN KNOWLEDGE To encourage believers to walk in the knowledge of Godâs Word, developing wisdom, discernment, and boldness through the Holy Spirit, while rejecting unbelief, silence, and disobedience. The goal is to lead Christians into a deeper personal relationship with God in the secret place, where true understanding and spiritual renewal are found. < Back WALKING IN KNOWLEDGE Minister Lisa Kane November 10, 2023 Objective: To encourage believers to walk in the knowledge of Godâs Word, developing wisdom, discernment, and boldness through the Holy Spirit, while rejecting unbelief, silence, and disobedience. The goal is to lead Christians into a deeper personal relationship with God in the secret place, where true understanding and spiritual renewal are found. Synopsis: In Walking in Knowledge, Minister Lisa Kane draws from Hosea 4:6 and Colossians 3:6â17 to emphasize the importance of living by the knowledge of Godâs Word. She explains that destruction comes not only from rejecting knowledge but also from spiritual silence and unbelief, which hinder prayer, obedience, and Godâs power from operating in our lives. Believers are called to boldly seek Godâs wisdom through Scripture and the Holy Spirit, not relying solely on pastors or leaders but developing a personal, intimate relationship with God. Kane warns that rejecting knowledge leads to serious consequences, even impacting oneâs children, while walking in knowledge brings blessing, renewal, and the ability to intercede effectively for others. Practical teaching is given on putting off anger, malice, lies, and filthy communication, and instead putting on forgiveness, humility, meekness, patience, kindness, and loveâthe true image of Christ. Walking in knowledge transforms the heart, renews the spirit, and empowers believers to live boldly, pray effectively, and act with discernment. Ultimately, Kane calls Christians to live as powerful intercessors, walking in Godâs peace, unity, and thankfulness, so that everything they do brings glory to Jesus Christ. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Friday, November 10th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Walking in Knowledge. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you that your word does not return void. We thank you that we have ears and eyes open to hear and see the living word of God. And we pray that our hearts and minds are open to receive and believe. Father God, help us stand strong in the knowledge of your word and and to walk with the spirit of discernment with your wisdom and your knowledge and your understanding to be a part of our lives. Father God, thank you Lord for blessing us and your favor upon us and enhancing our time alone with you in the secret place. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be looking at Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge. I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me, seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God. I will also forget thy children. So, in the last handful of weeks, I've been teaching on deliverance and changing our way we pray and and things of that nature. Well, this goes right along with it. It's kind of the culmination of it. So, we're going to be focusing on Colossians 3 6-17 for the most part of this um teaching. But here, I want you to see something because this is why we have to walk in the knowledge of the word of God. And in order for you to have knowledge, you need to be going to the source. That's the living word of God. That's God himself in the present. You need to be entering into that. And you can't get that just from church. You see, pastors and ministers and leaders of groups of people have to minister to the whole. They're the shepherd for the whole. Well, for you to get your individualized uh understanding and teaching, you got to go straight to the Holy Spirit. And the only way to do that is when you schedule time to do that. I've been teaching on this now for a handful of years. All right? So, take a look again. I want you to see this now with the rest of the meanings. And a reminder, when you see the words in bold, that's the word in the scripture. Well, when you see the words in italicize, those are other words that could be placed in that bold word. So, in other words, Strong's dictionary is what I'm using and they're the ones that provide the other trans, you know, other words that can be translated from the original text. So, gives you a bigger picture and a fuller picture and the understanding of the scriptures. So, my people are destroyed. When you think of the word destroyed, you think they're just blown away by a bomb or something. Uh, but instead that word destroyed means dumb or silent. Let's let's examine that for a minute. The only way you would ever be dumb is because you're not reading the word of God and you're not getting the truth from it. Because God, the gift of the Holy Spirit is wisdom, knowledge, understanding. These are some of the gifts that the Holy Spirit gives us. You do not have that when you're in the world. So, it's going to seem foolish to you, but you can have that wisdom because you're seeking the word of God. Notice also it says the word silent there. When you're silent, you're not praying for people or you didn't vote um the way God tells you to vote, which is through, you know, you don't vote for someone who supports abortion. That's murder. So if you're voting for that person, you are doing it silently and you are complicit to it, which means you're bringing a curse upon yourself and you don't even know it or realize it or you're doing it on purpose thinking that God is going to give you justification for it. The reality is no. So you cannot be dumb. You cannot be silent. You need to be praying. You need to be praying boldly. You need to be praying effectively for change, which in order for you to do that, you need to have the living word of God in you, his knowledge. So now look at this. It says, "My people are dumb or silent for lack of." Look at this. That word knowledgeers means knowledge there means cunning, aware, wittingly. You need to be cunning. Go back to Joshua. Take a look at Joshua and the way he was handling uh some of the the enemy camps that he had to deal with. At one point, he told God, "Stop the sun from moving. Stop the the the moon from moving as well till we finish getting these people." God said, "Okay, God did what Joshua told him to do." I'm telling you, God appreciates boldness in prayer. You know, when I go and I pray and and I prayed for California and the weather to be restored there when I was living out there and we had like six weeks of a deluge of water coming down. Part of it was I went to the Lord and said, "Shut the mouths of those that are cursing what we're trying to bless. I went straight up to the throne room praying that saying it. Actually, just telling God that boldness. Got to have the confidence in the boldness." And you see, if you're spending time with the Lord, you know you can do that. That's awesome. So, he's very clearly saying, you're dumb. You're silent. You're not being cunning. You're not aware. You're not being wittingly. You have to be aware of the things that are going on. You should be watching the news. Don't put your head in the sand. Uh you can't do that. You have to be watching the news. You have to be paying attention. You have to pay attention to what your preacher's preaching. You have to pay attention to what our representatives are doing in the government. And you need to be praying for them for salvation, but at the same time that they're following the living word of God. That's your responsibility. And if you're aware, you can get real cunning about it. You know, one of the things I just taught was prayer. You can go to Psalm 149 and it really tells you what you have a right to do as a a believer in Christ, but you can bless and you can curse. And so I'm asking God to forgive and forgive and forgive and that's exactly what I'm doing. But at the same time, I'm saying, "Okay, Lord, now that they're forgiven, let's open up their ears and eyes." Because Jesus said, "If you open up the ears and eyes, they will hear and believe." But there are some who continue to choose to reject the Holy Spirit, to continue to blasphe the Holy Spirit. Oh, okay. If you're going to continue to do that, then Lord Lord, rebuke them. Michael the Archangel said, "Lord, rebuke you, Satan." Talking to Satan, when he uh Satan was stealing Moses' body, he could have fought for him, but instead he humbled himself. Says, "I'm going to let the Lord handle you." You see, you there you can be cunning and aware and bold in your praying for that. And look at the consequences when you're not walking in his knowledge. Because thou rejected you, you cast awareness away. You were disdain knowledge. I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to me. And see, we're supposed to be priests and priestesses unto God to God for the salvation and the mercy of all those around us and those that we are responsible for in prayer in the name of Jesus. Look what further happens. Seeing thou has forgotten, listen that word forgotten there is mislay or oblivious. You're oblivious to it. You haven't purposed to go find out the knowledge of the living word of God. You haven't done that. But because you're oblivious of the law of thy God, you know what the new law is that we follow? Love one another with all your heart, mind, and soul, and love your neighbors as you do yourself. Because that's the new commandment that Jesus gave us. And that word love is obligation, duty. I just taught on all of that. It's a different kind of love than benevolence or having an emotional attachment. Love is a duty and an obligation to serve the Lord even when you don't feel like it, even when you don't want to do it or even if you don't know what to say. It is putting yourself in that place and saying, "Holy Spirit, you're going to have to take over because I'm not feeling it today." And he will. He answers that kind of prayer. But seeing that you've forgotten the law, you're not following it, I will also forget thy children. Do you love your children? You better put God first in your life. That's just simple reality of it. There are so many children out there suffering and it's because the parents aren't spending their time with the Lord and not getting right with the Lord, not walking in the knowledge of God when they're supposed to. That is your responsibility as a believer in Christ. And then you should be reaping the harvest, too. Okay, we're going to focus here in Colossians 3. So, let's uh start in verse six here. for which things sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. Okay, so here is now the children of disobedience which we just read from Hosea 4:6. Look what he says. He says wrath or the punishment of God comes on the children of disobedience. And that word disobedience is disbelief and unbelief. You know, if you go read Jeremiah and I think it's 38 or 39, he's talking uh they just pulled Jeremiah out of the mire in the pit and he meets with King Zedekiah and the king is saying in confidence, tell me what the Lord has said. And the, you know, he's telling them, hey, the Lord told you, you need to go to Babylon and you will live if you go to Babylon. If you don't, you got problems. Well, he didn't. And when Babylon invaded and he ran, they captured him. and they plucked his eyes out and they killed his children in front of him before they plucked his eyes out. He had a choice. He chose the wrong way and that's the consequence. And his children were were killed as a response uh uh to that. Do you love your children? Take up your responsibility and be a good parent and start spending time with God so your children can be saved and your children can live for Christ. Amen. And and when you don't believe and I want you to think about this for a minute, instead of saying, "Lord, that's just that that's not real. I just cannot believe it." Instead, I want you to say, "Lord, you know what? I don't understand what that is, but I'm going to trust in you, and I'm asking you to help me understand that so I can believe." You see, now you're putting that unbelief or disbelief. You know, did God hold the sun and the moon for Joshua? The Bible says he did. How many of you truly believe that or don't? How many truly believe Zedekiah did reject the word of God through Jeremiah and got what he deserved? Some of you are saying, "Well, that's cruel. What kind of a God is this?" Hey, I'm telling you, he's the righteous, justice God who created you and me. He is the creator. You better have a lot of respect and humility for him in the name of Jesus, right? But these are consequences. And by the way, these are consequences that you cause because you chose to disbelieve. This is why we have to walk in knowledge. This is why we obey and pray through obedience. I just taught on that. This is why we have to go and ask the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be upon our minds and our hearts in the name of Jesus. Amen. Verse seven. In the which ye also walked followed some time when you lived in them. See, we used to be like King Zedekiah. We used to be like the enemies running from Joshua. Not any longer. I'm a mighty warrior of God and intercessory prayer behind the scenes. You may not even know it. You don't even know I'm praying for you, but I am. And I'm being very cunning and aware about my prayer, too. This is a job and a responsibility that you can do too if you choose to do it. Amen. Verse 58 in Matthew 13:58. And he did not me many mighty works there because of their unbelief. See, unbelief affects your entire atmosphere around you. You see, when you don't believe in something, God's miracles can't prevail. Look at this. He says there were not many works there. There were not many mighty works there. Then mighty works by the way is the force or the miraculous powers the whole you know the healings and and if you read the gospels you will find that Jesus was healing a lot of pe people. But in this particular situation he wasn't because they didn't believe. In fact I think when he um uh delivered the guy from the demon of legion is when he went and started telling everyone look what God has done for me and then they believed. So he that had that's what the situation is. You can go read that and do a little extra homework. But your unbelief is affecting your surroundings. If you're wondering why you're not getting answers to prayer, and I just taught on this a few weeks ago, is because you're sending mixed messages to God. You don't believe the miracle could happen. But you go up and get prayed thinking, "Okay, it's going to happen." But you're not believing it. You're not saying, "God, I'm having trouble here with this, but I'm going to go do it anyways." because you want to be obedient, but you're having trouble with it. And God has to work in here as well as in here in order for you to walk in godliness and righteousness and to have faith because you you can be healed. You can be delivered. Prayer can be answered. And prayer does work. I promise you that. I've seen it work so much in my life. I've seen it work in other people's lives. Prayer works. It transforms a person because we're allowing the Holy Spirit in to move in that person's heart and mind. It's all the battle's done behind the scenes. This is why we're called intercessory prayers. We're interceding on your behalf. Verse 8 in Colossians 3. We're back at Colossians 3 now. But now ye also put off all these anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Everything that we do and everything that we're in has a consequence of the result of what the words we spoke. If you think you're going to win a million dollars because you want b went and bought one lottery ticket and you're like, you know what, I'm believing that and and you know what? It can happen. You you can definitely win that million dollars because you walked in with with belief. It's like the only ticket you ever buy, you went in and you just bought it and said, "Lord, I'm giving this to you and it could happen now. For someone like me, I'd be like, "Uh, no." And see, I don't believe it. You know, the Bible tells us we need to work for our food. We're not going to just be handed a million dollars. But that's my belief. Your belief can be totally different. He says, "If you believe enough to move this mountain out of the way, the mountain will move." Well, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't because it's my level of belief. It's what I've learned. I have to unlearn things that I learned growing up. It was so easy to call the doctor's office, make an appointment, go in and get the little pill that will take care of the symptom. What I found out though, and I did learn this, is I want the root taken care of. And in order to have the root symptoms, the root of the problem that's causing the symptoms to be taken care of, I had to go to God. It's like taking my Rolls-Royce to a Jify Lube. Why do I want to go to the hospital or a doctor's office to take care of something when I'm a Rolls-Royce? I should be taking it back to my creator and let him find the problem and fix it. And nine out of 10en times it has to do with unbelief and it has to do with the hardness of the heart and it has to do with my spirit. Has nothing to do with the physical because the physical manifests what's in the spiritual. Been teaching on that too. Binding and loosing. I just taught that. We got a lot of teachings on that on the House of Faith Ministries website as well. You can go check it out. But he's telling us in our mouth to put off these things. There's anger, which is violent passion. There's wrath or fierceness, indignation. You know what? When you you're right. Oh, that person was wrong and they should apologize to you and you're not going to give. Well, that is fierceness and indign indignation. Guess what? You got to get it out of you. You got to let it go. Yeah, you're right. But why don't you forgive them and and dissolve the whole thing? And that way both of you are saved. Just cuz you're And by the way, just cuz you're right doesn't mean anything in the long term of things. You're still going to either end up in heaven or end up in hell, depending on the circumstance and situation of what you're at, whether you got saved or not. But if you're a believer and you're walking in that there there physical consequences that are going to manifest out of your body. Sores, cancer, pain, ache, suffering. You don't want that. It ain't worth it. I promise you that. I don't care how right you are. It ain't worth it. Let it go. Just let it go. Make your life a whole lot better. And he's telling us to cast that out. Uh malice. Well, that's just simple badness. You know how many people walk across uh like a train platform? I see this in the New York uh news often. There's somebody walking around push somebody in front of a train. You can't do that. They just did it. Or push someone out in front of a car, push someone off a bridge. Uh there was a video u and this went to court. This friend pushed her friend off the edge of a cliff so she can finally jump into the water below. and it was like 60 ft. The friend survived with several broken bones, but she ended up going to jail for it was a short amount of time, too. I thought, man, our justice, we need to pray for our justice system. By the way, I'm just stepping into these prayers. Just because you're not seeing the results yet, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. And if we get more people that are praying like what I'm praying or praying the way the Holy Spirit teaches you how to pray, then we're going to see the power of God move. Amen. But we need to put off badness. We have to stop blaspheming or vilifying something else. We have to take responsibilities for our issues. And then we have to stop filthy communication. That is vile conversation. Cursing someone, man, so and so just needs to go to hell. Yeah, people say that kind of stuff. You cannot say that. You have to get it out of your mouth. So, we're trying to teach you here to walk in knowledge. This is part of it. It means you need to have the gift of the Holy Spirit of self-control over your mouth, over your behavior, over your attitude. And we need more self-control in the world. Amen. Simple as that. So, he's teaching us how to do this in Colossians 3. Now, we're in verse 9. Lie not to one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds. Okay, look at this. Lie not to utter untruth. Don't lie to people. Don't lie to anyone. Don't lie. God hates lying, by the way. He hates it profusely. He hates it. He doesn't like it at all. Just just don't lie. Simple as that. And he says, uh, seeing that ye have put off. See, now he's talking about what you've done. You have de dvested wholly oneself. You desoiled yourself. You had let go of all of those things. Anger because you're forgiving. When you're forgiving and you have the attitude forgive is awesome. Take a look at what Hamas has done. I I can't say the atrocities here, but and I don't want to say the atrocities that they've done, but they've done some vile things. I mean, horrific to the people of Israel that they went in and invaded there. Ask yourself, can you forgive them of that? Can you forgive someone who raped you if you're a a victim of rape? Can you forgive the person who got you hooked on drugs? If you can do that, God can work with you because now he's realizing and you're realizing that you're trying to change your inside man and you've done that. Which means don't go back to badness or lying and letting your mouth control you. No. Now use it for good. He says, and look at these are practiced. See, he says the old man with his deeds practice. You've always practiced these things in the past because that's who you were. You would say these fleeting thoughts that you shouldn't have. Well, now it's time to practice the new the new stuff, the living word of God, scripture, apply scripture, and see you can do that if you know what the scripture is because you've been reading it in this secret place with the Lord. You have to do it and you got to practice it. And sometimes you have to focus on trying to memorize the scripture or write it down so that it sticks with you. Whatever you got to do, you know you and you know how you would remember it. Put a a little rhyme in there or put a little tune with it. Something to help you remember it. But you can remember the living word of God. Amen. Verse 10. And have put on a new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. All right. This is what's so powerful. This is why I called this message walking in knowledge because I want you to understand something here. He says you put on the new man and it is renovated. You have been renovated by what? In knowledge after the likeness of him, God that created me or you. This is what I'm talking about. You find the knowledge and you you you find I don't want my kids to suffer. I want them to be blessed. I don't want them to be cursed. I want to do better for myself because I love the Lord and I love what he does. He is such a good person. So, I do my best to be obedient and to go find the knowledge of the living word of God so that I can walk in it every day in my prayer life, in my Bible study life, in teaching the word of God, in sharing testimony to people around me. That is how God moves. So, I need to make certain my mouth is renovated. My body is renovated in the name of Jesus Christ, the living God. This is how you do that. So, and you put on the image of God because you're made in his image. And now you've been renovated back into his image. That's awesome. Look at this. And then verse 11. where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, githian, bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all. So when let's talk about that forgiveness of of um Hamas and these the acts that they did that were horrific. If you can forgive them and let that go, you have a self-control upon you and you should be following God. You are now in his likeness. Do you want to know why? Because he loves that person, a murderer, a killer. Uh he loves anyone just as much as he loves me. You mean God loved Hitler, too? Yes, he did. He didn't love the deeds. He just he loved the man and he hoped he would get saved. And you know what? If Hitler called out to God and asked Jesus to save him before he offed himself, he might be in heaven. You never know. This is why we can't ponder these things. We have to look at ourselves and realize that if God loves me, and it's not because of my actions, by the way. He simply loves me because he can love a terrorist just as much as he loves me. If God can love me and he loves them, then we need to love them, too. This is why we need to practice forgiveness and praying in the spirit of forgiveness and letting go and casting away because it's not you can be as good as you want. It will do you no good. It is not by your might. It is not by your will. But it is by God's spirit in the name of Jesus. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. This is a good message. Verse 12. Put on therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, knowledge or excuse me, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. So now he's giving us another list of things that we can follow. So put off all that anger, fierce, wrath, what have you. And look at now he says, "Put this on. You're the favorite chosen of God." You see, now God, he God loves a terrorist as much as he loves me. But my actions say God I I'm his favorite because I'm chosen by him. That terrorist is not his favorite. Anyone doing evil deeds is not God's favorite. He's going to hope and try to get you saved, but you're not his favorite if you're following badness or evilness. So this is where we come in now. Putting on the righteousness of God, putting on these things that Paul is listening for us, listing for us. And when we go walking in that, we have the favor of the Lord upon us. Oh, hallelujah. And that's what we want. Oh, you guys got to get that. You want the favor of the Lord upon your life. Not for the goodies, just because you can have a beautiful relationship with your creator. He is awesome. He created us. He allowed me to be born and live today and to choose him. How awesome is that? Oh, we got to get that. We got to get that. So, we got to put on. Look at this. The bowels inward affection. You see, you got to have that affection on the inside. This is why even if you don't feel like it, you do the act of obedience and you speak the word. I'm going to forgive those terrorists, Lord. I don't want to. And I'm telling you straight up, I don't want to, but I'm asking you to help me change my heart. And I wept the other day when I was in prayer for Hamas because these people have no idea what they're doing. Or if they do, they they've chosen the wrong side. Oh, we got to pray for these people. You see, God changes your inside to begin to pray and minister to those around us that are walking in anger and hatred, bitterness, especially, let's say it's one of your friends and they're talking about so- and so, you know what, try to change the subject. Put on there, you know, hey, how about um how about God and what he's doing? I I see that he's moving over here at this church or this university. I see revival happening over here. Why don't we go to that? And they might look at you and they may reject you at that point, but that's on them. But behind the scenes, if you were praying for them in advance, you might get through them. You might reap the harvest there, but you got to be ready for it. This is what we're talking about. getting the knowledge of God, walking in the spirit of discernment, in this boldness, in this confidence, and knowing what to say, when to say, how to say it, and have pity on others, kindness, you know, kindness is just moral excellence, humbleness of mind. You're need you need to be modest. I mean, I got a great relationship with the Lord, but I'm not going to go and and tout that in front of you. I'm not here to do that, okay? I'm here to show you how much I love you and how much I love God and that we can all have God in our lives. Amen. Amen. Meekness, which is gentleness, longsuffering, that's forbearance and fortitude. These are the things we need to have. We have to be persistent. You know, I think it was yesterday uh I uh yeah, I think it was yesterday. I um went to the Lord and I said, "You know what, Lord? I'm going to keep praying the same thing over and over again like that lady did to the judge in um in the Gospels because you taught us how to be persistent. And I'm going to nag. I nag for salvation. I nag for uh revelation, revival, repentance. I'm nagging for it all Lord in the name of Jesus. This is why this is how you become cunning and aware of how to pray because you start applying the scriptures and you're you're walking in the steps that God has showed us how to walk in through his word. Why? Because you purposed in your heart to go live it. Look at it, read it, study it, and get it deep down inside of you. That's what we need. Hallelujah. Verse 13, forbearing. Hold oneself up against bear with endurance suffering. That's what that whole forbearing means is to hold oneself up against whatever it is that you're facing. To bear with endurance that you bear it, you suffer it. You're suffering one another and forgiving, pardoning, rescuing one another if any man has a quarrel or a blame against any. Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye forgive them. They have a complaint against you. They blame you for something. That's the accuser, by the way. That's the devil. You see, a lot of people like to do the devil's job for him. And I'm going to tell you, stop. Looks better on him than it does on you. God loves you so much that he wants to save you. So, stop blaming. And see, if we're in the behind the scenes, we're praying for these individuals. We're praying that they don't blame one another, that they don't accuse one another, but we're praying and asking for mercy and forgiveness and humbleness upon them, and that they get the knowledge of the word of God so they can walk in obedience in the word. And by the way, if they see you doing it, it's an awesome testimony because you know I there's a gal I used to work with and uh she believes in Allah. She's a Muslim or Islam. And she saw me in my relationship with the Lord, reading my Bible and praying every day for at lunch on my lunch break for the food and whatever. She got actually closer to God it through Allah just because of that. People watch you and see you. And I'm not, you know, I don't promote Islam because, you know, Jesus is the living word of God. But she at least saw it and responded to it. And that to me is amazing. Now I pray and I'm praying every day that she finds Jesus the son of God. And I'm hoping for it, too. And I believe that it's going to happen because I know that she was a very religious person because she wanted to be. She She recognizes the power that's behind the scenes in prayer and having a relationship with God. She recognized that. She knows but this is what you have to do. So you got to forgive and then above all these things put on charity and that is affection benevolence which is the bond. It's a uniting principle of perfew awesome. This is how we become complete in him. And when we become complete because we're walking in knowledge, we become cunning, aware Christians. And we are individuals who give God the glory, honor, praise, and strength. And we are the ones behind the scene interceding for everything. Every church service, every Bible study, every person in our neighborhood, every person in the government, every person in Israel and and Jerusalem, we're praying the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus. Jesus, you're over this person who has cancer. They will not have cancer anymore. We're breaking that cancer. We're breaking the curses. I atone for them. I am being the priest or the priestess to them, Father God, in the name of Jesus. This is walking in knowledge with God. This is what we need to be doing in the name of Jesus. Amen. Verse 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body. And be ye thankful. Let's let's delve into this because see this is now the attitude that we should be having behind the scenes. Peace and where does peace come from God. It's a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace. That's the fruit of the spirit. So peace comes from the Holy Spirit. And that word peace by the way means prosperity, quietness, and rest. You want to be prosperous, prosperous in your spirit, in reaping the harvest. Yes. Prosperous in your finances. Abraham was rich. King David and Solomon were rich. These are people that were well off in the name of Jesus and they served the Lord still. So don't think that you can't be blessed. And I don't want you to limit yourself and put yourself in a box or to put God in a box about that. You have the right to believe in prosperity. The issue is is you got to make sure that God fixes your heart so that it doesn't own you but that you own it. Amen. You see, you got to get that right. And then of God rule arbitrate. So we and let the peace of God rule in your hearts. Meaning let God arbitrate because see our hearts have to go up to the justice system to the courtroom where God is because God operates in the law. He has a principle and everything is there in order. He made an order for it. But the moment you forgive. Oh, you're not acc You can't be accused of that anymore. No, no, wipe that all off. You're clean. And the devil's shouting over there, "No, no, no. That person's evil. That person deserves hell." And Jesus said, "No, I forgave them." And and God looks back down. No, I see the blood of Jesus over that person. They're saved. And the devil is so rattled by it. That is what arbitration is, folks. You get into the presence of the Lord because you're in the sacred place. You're praying and you're reading his word and you're having the relationship. You're letting him rule your heart. Arbitrate your heart because he's telling you you're forgiven and you're saying, "I believe it. I take it. I even forgive myself." Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Previous Next Home
- O JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM! | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
O JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM! The purpose of this teaching is to help believers understand Jesusâ lament over Jerusalem as a call to His people todayâto run to His covering love instead of succumbing to fear. It aims to expose the dangers of mistrust, false teachings, and traditions that cause many to misinterpret His return, and to prepare Christians to confidently await Jesus as their Savior rather than fear Him as their Judge. O JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM! Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to help believers understand Jesusâ lament over Jerusalem as a call to His people todayâto run to His covering love instead of succumbing to fear. It aims to expose the dangers of mistrust, false teachings, and traditions that cause many to misinterpret His return, and to prepare Christians to confidently await Jesus as their Savior rather than fear Him as their Judge. Synopsis: In Luke 13:34, Jesus mourns over Jerusalemâs unwillingness to receive His protection, likening Himself to a hen longing to shelter her chicks. This image illustrates Godâs desire to cover His people in love, yet many resist Him due to fear, unbelief, or mistrust of His compassion. The enemy exploits this fear, leaving people vulnerable and unprepared. The lesson contrasts those in spiritual darkness with those in the light (1 Thessalonians 5:2â6), emphasizing that believers are called to watch, be sober, and recognize the signs of Christâs return. When He appears in the clouds, all will see Himâboth believers and unbelieversâbut reactions will differ: the world will tremble at His judgment, while those perfected in His love will rejoice in His rescue. Jerusalem remains central in end-time prophecy, as foretold in Zechariah 12, when nations will rise against it but God will miraculously deliver His people. This invasion signals the nearness of Christâs return. For those anchored in Scripture and Godâs perfect love, this day will not come as a thief, but as the long-awaited fulfillment of His promise. Ultimately, the teaching urges believers to be children of light who live free from fear, to trust fully in Godâs love, and to be ready to encourage others with the truth of salvation when that day arrives. Inspired Teaching: Luke 13:34 âO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!â Jerusalem is the city of the Great King, and as such, she represents the dwelling place of all those who make Jesus their King. Matthew 5:35 â...Nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.â Jesus is lamenting the fact that those who dwell in His city and are under His protection from the enemy, do not take heed to His warnings and run to Him in the face of danger, just as when a hen makes a warning sound and her chicks run under her covering for protection. What is it that makes men unwilling to run to God in times of danger? Many do not know Godâs lovingkindness and compassion well enough, so they fear Him, others do not trust God enough to run to Him in their hour of need, while others do not think that God cares for them, so they say to themselves, why bother. 1 John 4:18 âThere is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.â Is no wonder that the enemy uses fear to try and scare away from God those who are not really sure of Godâs unconditional love for them, once the devil gets them away from Godâs protection they become easy prey. I believe that this kind of fear will be the greatest factor that will be at play at the soon return of Jesus, when He comes to take us to be with Him in the clouds, while He judges those left back here on the earth. When the dreadful signs appear in the sky that His return is imminent, I fear that many believers will not see Jesus as coming to rescue them, but rather to judge them, due to the fact that they have not been made perfect in Godâs love, you can get so embroiled on religious traditions and practices, that you forget what real Christianity is all about. I know that I harp on this a lot, but I truly believe that so many Christians in this present generation have been sold a bill of goods that does not measure up to what the Scriptures really teach about what is going to happen at Jesusâ return. For years I believed that the rapture would be an event that would happen instantly and without warning, for that was how many Christian movies about the rapture portrayed it, and the endless preachings that nobody knew the day nor the hour, so why bother to look for His return. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 âFor you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, âPeace and safety!â then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.â Notice the stark contrast that Paul creates between light and darkness, and between those who know what the coming events entails and between those who do not know. Those of us who believe, have the Scriptures, that is why Paul tells us that we (should) know perfectly that Jesusâ return will catch the unbelievers by surprise, but then he says: but you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. The reason why it should not overtake us as a thief is because we are children of light, we have the Scriptures to enlighten us, and then he underscores what the Scriptures teach about Jesusâ return: but let us watch and be sober, watch for what you may ask? His return of course. Luke 21:27 âThen they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.â Now here is the key to what I am harping about; when Jesus appears in the cloud everybody will see Him, believers as well as unbelievers, what Paul is trying to teach us has more to do with how we are going to react when we see Him, will we see Him as a judge or as a savior. No doubt the world will be surprised when He appears, for they will see Him as a judge coming to judge them, and they are not, and have not been looking forward to that, however, we should see Him as a Savior coming to rescue us, for we have been anxiously awaiting for His return. But what if you have been told for years and years, as I was, that nobody knows about His return, so donât bother with it, how will you react then, when you see Him in the cloud and all those people around you are running to the bomb shelters, will you run with them to get away from Him? Or will you with a firm and secure voice tell those around you what the Scriptures declare, that they that call upon the name of the Lord will be saved? Acts 2:19-21 âI will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.â In Luke 21:26 Jesus tells us that menâs heart will be failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken, which is what we see occurring in the Scripture that we just quoted from in the book of Acts. In the midst of the heavens and the earth becoming unglued, will you be able to say with complete assurance to those around you that, that is your Jesus coming in the cloud to take you away from all this chaos? And will you also be able to tell them what the Scriptures declare, that if they call upon the name of the Lord that they too shall be saved? That will very much depend on whether deep within your heart His perfect love for you, has casted out all fears, and also as to whether you have a reasonable understanding of what Scriptures teach will happen at His return. I always thank God for His grace and mercy that makes up for all that we do not know or understand, for He truly loves us, but as children of the Light we have an obligation to receive the enlightenment of His truth, if for nothing else, that we may be of help to those around us when that glorious day finally appears. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem...How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!â Remember our opening Scripture? Well, Jerusalem plays a very key role in the end time fulfillment of prophecy as it pertains to the return of Jesus to the earth, if we understand this next Scripture it will help us even more to be ready and to know that His return is imminent. Zechariah 12:2-3 âBehold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.â The Scriptures clearly indicate that Judah in general, present day Israel, and Jerusalem in particular, will be the focus point that will initiate the return of the Lord to the earth. Many Scriptures point to an invasion of the land of Judah by a confederacy of nations to the north of Israel, to remove Jerusalem from been the capitol of Israel will be their main objective, while the extermination of the Jewish nation will be their overall goal. Zechariah 12:9 âIt shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.â Before Godâs final judgment against humanity begins, He will show Himself Holy to the nations of the world, that means that He will perform a miraculous deliverance of behalf of the city of Jerusalem, by supernaturally destroying all the nations that attacked Jerusalem. We will witness that invasion, and it will be a sign to us to get ready, for when Jesus reveals Himself to destroy those invading nations, it will also be the time when He reveals Himself to all who want to be taken out of this world. The timing of the invasion of the land of Israel by a northern confederacy may come as a surprise to us, but not the outcome, for when that invasion takes place, we are pretty much done here on the earth. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 âBut let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.â Previous Next Home
- THE THREE FROGS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
THE THREE FROGS To expose the deceptive nature of the âthree unclean spirits like frogsâ described in Revelation 16:13â14, tracing their influence through false doctrines that undermine Godâs truth, corrupt the conscience, and lead humanity toward rebellion against God. This teaching aims to equip believers to discern these demonic influences, remain watchful, and keep clothed with the promises of God through Christ, standing firm in righteousness against end-time deception. THE THREE FROGS Pastor Marcos Marrero May 30, 2023 Objective: To expose the deceptive nature of the âthree unclean spirits like frogsâ described in Revelation 16:13â14, tracing their influence through false doctrines that undermine Godâs truth, corrupt the conscience, and lead humanity toward rebellion against God. This teaching aims to equip believers to discern these demonic influences, remain watchful, and keep clothed with the promises of God through Christ, standing firm in righteousness against end-time deception. Synopsis: The Three Frogs centers on Revelationâs vision of demonic spirits emerging from the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. These spiritsâsymbolizing lying doctrinesâleap across the world, deceiving nations with signs and false wisdom. Their ultimate goal is to gather humanity in rebellion against God on the âgreat day of God Almighty.â The teaching identifies three historic channels of deception: Darwinâs theory of evolution (reducing man to an animal), Freudâs psychology (severing the human soul from moral accountability), and Marxâs socialism (exalting pride and control over Godâs order). Each corresponds with the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life warned of in 1 John 2:15â16. Together, they form a counterfeit trinity that erodes the divine truth embedded in every human conscience. The message contrasts humansâcreated uniquely in Godâs image and infused with His breathâwith animals, which are animated by mere life-force. While fallen angels once attempted to corrupt humanity by blending human and animal natures, God judged and destroyed their work. Modern parallels appear in artificial intelligence and genetic tampering, echoing Daniel 2:43âs prophecy of mingling with the seed of men, yet doomed to fail. Ultimately, believers are warned not to fall prey to these doctrines of demons but to remain clothed with Christâs righteousness, putting on the armor of light and resisting deception. The call is to vigilance, holiness, and steadfast faith in Jesusâthe only One who preserves both body and soul for the promised resurrection and eternal life. Inspired Teaching: Revelation 16:13-14 âAnd I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.â These three demonic spirits jump out like frogs out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet and leap upon the entire world, performing signs and wonders with the goal of deceiving all the humans who inhabit this earth. Unclean spirits always peddle lies against the Word of God, their aim is to keep those who will be saved from sure destructionâonce they know the truthâfrom knowing the truth that Jesus can keep them safe from the judgment of that great day of God Almighty. That great day of God Almightyâas of this writingâis still in the future, but the demonic doctrines represented by these three frogs are alive and present and have been around for centuries now leading many a strayed. That is why Jesus, knowing that many would be exposed to these demonic doctrines, warns us to be watchful and to keep His coveringâHis promisesâon like a garment. Many will say that no one knows the time of the end. That is exactly why we need to keep watch and be ready for today many signs tells us that we may already be in them. Revelation 16:15 âBehold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.â Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx are great examples of how this demonic trinity has been working its way into our everyday lives. Through Darwin comes the teaching that the human body evolved from an animal which is a lie. Through Freud comes the teaching that the human mind or soul can be void of morality, that is, if we are nothing more than animals then there should be no guilt or shame nor Day of Judgment. Through the teachings of Marx comes the teachings of socialism or social justice as it is called today, which embodies the aspiration that every aspect of human life can be control by these frog-like demons behind these doctrines. 1 John 2:15-16 âDo not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the worldâthe lust of the flesh (Darwin), the lust of the eyes (Freud) and the pride of life (Marx)âis not of the Father but is of the world.â Job 41:34 âHe (Leviathan the dragon) beholds every high thing (Godâs moral law with contempt); He is king over all the children of pride.â We come to the place in time, where the morality of Godâs Law in viewed with contempt by many, and pride for a life style that is against Godâs morality is publicly celebrated. What is the difference between humans and animals? Animals are called animals because they are animated by the spirit of life that God infused into the creation when God said let there be and there was and commanded them to be fruitful and to multiply. The human body was made alive when God infused it with the breath of God Almighty Himself directly into Adamâs nostrils and man became a living soul, created in Godâs image with a fully functioning conscience. Romans 2:15-16 âWho show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.â Long before Moses walked down the mountain with the Ten Commandments in his hands, God had already placed the morality of His righteous law in the hearts of every living soul! Before the great flood, the fallen angels tried desperately to remove the human conscience from the physical body through all kinds of human experiments combining animal and human DNA. For the purpose of controlling the human body without it feeling guilt or regret for their actions in order to avoid Godâs law of human resistance against demonic intrusion in the human soul. James 4:7 âTherefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.â Those demonic entities failed miserably in their attempt to recreate man into a soulless creature and are now awaiting Godâs judgment; all that were left with was the dead bodies of soulless animals without immortality and deprived of the breath of life from their lungs for God drowned them all in the flood. The fruit of their labor was destroyed and prevented from rising again. Isaiah 26:12-14 âLord, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our work in us. O Lord our God, masters beside You have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name. They are dead, they will not live (no soul no resurrection); they are deceased they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish (no memory no soul).â God owns the souls of all men, for the soul is all the work of God in us. And even though our genetic code has been infused with the frailty and death of the body because of sin, there is immortality promised to men, not only for the soul of man but also for the physical body as well. The blessed hope is the promised resurrection of the physical body. But for the result of those who tampered with this sacred work of God into the soul of man, there will be no resurrection for their demonic product, for the trans-bodies (human-animal) that they engineered bypassing the conscience, cannot rise from the dead and will not rise from the dead for they have no soul; even all the memory of them will be destroyed forever. Daniel 2:43 âAs you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, THEY WILL MINGLE WITH THE SEED OF MEN; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.â That is the kind of work that is going on today in modern science with artificial intelligence, but Daniel tells us that it will fail again. But many are the victims of these evil works, do not fall prey to them. Keep watch and clothe yourselves with the promises of God. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 âNow the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.â Jesus wants us to put Him on as a garment and then He blesses those who obey Him: Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. Paul tells us how to put on the armor of light and how to keep our garment of light on and not be deceived. Romans 13:12-14 âThe night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.â Previous Next Home
- SPEAK | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
SPEAK The purpose of this message is to teach believers the power of speaking the Word of God. By examining Ezekiel, John, and Revelation, the message highlights how eating (absorbing) the Word and then declaring it brings life, blessings, and protection. It calls Christians to actively confess the promises of God, speak blessings over themselves and others, and remain rooted in Christ as the ultimate living Word, especially in light of prophetic times. < Back SPEAK Minister Lisa Kane January 8, 2023 Objective: The purpose of this message is to teach believers the power of speaking the Word of God. By examining Ezekiel, John, and Revelation, the message highlights how eating (absorbing) the Word and then declaring it brings life, blessings, and protection. It calls Christians to actively confess the promises of God, speak blessings over themselves and others, and remain rooted in Christ as the ultimate living Word, especially in light of prophetic times. Synopsis: The message opens in prayer, dedicating the teaching to the Lord and inviting His blessing. Lisa Kane introduces the theme âSpeakâ with Ezekiel 3:3, showing how Ezekiel had to eat the scroll before he could speak it. This principle is paralleled in John 1:1â5 and Genesis 1, where the spoken Word of God brings creation and life. The sermon emphasizes that Godâs Word must not only be read but ingestedâinternalizedâso that it can be spoken with authority. Lisa testifies from her own life how a remembered psalm she sang as a young believer eventually became a lived reality, demonstrating the prophetic power of oneâs own words over time. Revelation 10 illustrates both the sweetness and bitterness of prophecy: while Godâs Word brings life, it also contains warnings of judgment and tribulation. Lisa explains that our spoken wordsâwhether blessings or cursesâshape our lives, households, and communities. Speaking blessings brings Godâs protection, provision, and peace, while careless or negative speech invites struggle. The message stresses that Israelâs restoration fulfills Ezekielâs prophecy, showing the importance of spoken promises unfolding across history. As priests in Christ, believers are called to speak blessings over their homes, neighbors, and even enemies, interceding so that Godâs goodness transforms situations. Lisa ties this to the gospel message in Romans 10:8â11, urging listeners to confess Jesus as Lord with their mouths and believe in their hearts for salvation. She warns that in the coming tribulation, the current salvation message will cease, replaced by a different revelation, making repentance urgent now. The sermon concludes with a strong call to action: speak blessings daily, declare Godâs goodness over your life and surroundings, and watch His Word set boundaries of protection and provision. Believers are reminded that the bride of Christ is not appointed to Godâs wrath, and those who confess Christ today will walk in His blessing and safety. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on January 8th, 2023 and this message is called Speak. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message. It will be good and people will receive and understand and apply it to their lives. And I ask for your blessing on it as well so that they receive and apply it as well. And this message then is doubly blessed because I blessed it. You blessed it. Thank you, Father God, for your blessings. Thank you for your goodness, your holiness, your wonderfulness, Lord. And we lift you up and give you this message. This is yours. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay. So, before I get started here, just so you know, this is 2023, so we are starting off a new year here. What I did is I uploaded four messages from the past that were not on our website, and two of them are from 2004. And two of them are from 2007. Now, two of them are only audio. But oh my word, I'm listening to these this week and I was blessed. You're going to be blessed. Check it out. They're under the live video messages at this time. We want to feature them. I will put them in their permanent home on the website in probably a few weeks. But anyways, I'd like for you to check those out. You are going to be blessed. And they're by Pastor Marcos Morero. All right. So, this message is called Speak. Let's go to our opening uh scripture here. Ezekiel 3:3. And he said to me, "Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with the scroll that I give you." So I ate and it was in my mouth like honey and sweetness. Okay. So in in order for Ezekiel to become a prophet, he had to eat the scroll, the living word of God. So so he had to eat it so he can speak it. So I got very excited about this message because I want you to realize that you and I've taught how to be a priest but even so to be that walking testimony you have to eat the word of God and you have to speak it to apply it to put it in action. So let us see how this goes. So Ezekiel was this way. He had to eat it and then he had to speak it. So he says and you know he said you got to eat the scroll. The scroll is the living word of God. How do we know this? Let's go to John. I want to make sure and give you the foundation of the scriptures here. John 1:es 1-5. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God. And the word was God. You know, pause there. In the beginning was the scroll and the scroll was with God and the scroll was God. So you see how Ezekiel applies to this. Let's continue on. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it. Okay. So, now you have Ezekiel and you have John. John wrote his gospel uh about 2,000 years ago. Ezekiel wrote his about 3,000 years ago, give or take. I might be off by a 500y year mark there. I didn't look up the dates, but what I'm showing you here is that we're applying the living word of God and how we speak it. So, Ezekiel spoke it, John speaks it for Revelation. He becomes a prophet for Revelation. So, John is a prophet as well. and he ends up speaking the scroll. So watch how he says though he says it's in the beginning. And so we have to go back now to the very beginning because we have to see how the word became because once we understand that we can see the example set for us because we're inheritors with Christ. We are adopted and because we're a part of Christ, we get to speak the word and we get to apply it to our lives. Blessings or cursings? Let's go back to the beginning. So, we're in Genesis chapter 1. We're going to look at verses 1-4. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light." And there was light. And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. Jesus is the embodiment, and I've said this multiple times now, of let there be light. He's the numa, the spoken word. He became flesh. So Ezekiel absorbed him. John absorbed him. And what we've absorbed, seeing what they've absorbed is they absorbed the spoken living word of God. They ate it and they spoke it and it became actionable. Oh, you guys are going to love this. Let's go to Psalms. Psalm 53. My voice you shall hear in the morning, oh Lord, in the morning. I will direct it to you and I will look up. The reason I bring up this scripture, I want you to hear this testimony. This is my testimony. I'm so excited about this message. Okay. When I was a young adult, married, had a child already and um in my mid20s. And in at that time, you know, I was on fire for God for some time, sometimes I wasn't. Sometimes I was in church, sometimes I wasn't. I was going up and down like a yo-yo. One day I had prayed and asked the Lord, why am I doing this? this is you know disrespectful because you know how can you love something sometimes and not other times. You see what I'm saying? So it was very disrespectful for me. So I prayed that prayer but at the same time during that time I was remembering songs and I was remembering scripture and this was one of those scriptures I remembered and I kept singing it over and over again and I had to delve into because I didn't go look it up. You know back then it was a little different for resources. So no I didn't go to my Bible and just look it up and no there was no website to really go search for it. So I just try to remember and I remember it and I remember it and I will sing it. Sing it. Sing it. Look at that scripture again. Look at this. Says in the morning I will direct it to you and I will look up. My voice you shall hear in the morning when now in the last 101 15 years of my life I've been commuting to and from work uh an hour plus each day. And when I start my drive now I uh used to commute with my husband and carpulled. So it was kind of more of a quiet drive. We just talked and talked about daily things. Well, since co he's been working from home, so I do this drive by myself now. So, what I started doing is I do my praise and worship time at that time. And because I'm driving to work 6:00 in the morning, there's the sun peeking over the mountains. When I reach the top of Ortega Highway at, you know, 6:30 in the morning, I see the sunrise coming up, give or take about that time. And he I had this epiphany. That song, that psalm that I sang, spoke with my mouth became true. It is a prophecy that I placed on my life. Didn't even know it. And look, today I get to say, you hear my voice in the morning. And you know what? I wasn't a morning person back then. I am now because you know I got to get to work in early in the morning. But isn't that amazing how you can see the power of God work in your words and you don't even know it. It may not even take it could take hours. It could take days. It take in my case it took years to see this but is absolutely incredible. Let's continue on with this. Now in Revelation 10:es 8-11, then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, "Go take the little book which is open on in the land in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth." So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the little book." And he said to me, "Take and eat it, and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter and he said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings." Okay, so you that's John. He is now he had to eat the book, the scroll. Ezekiel had to eat the scroll. Ezekiel prophesied many different things over the nation of Israel. John now is prophesied over people's time, everybody else. And the reason it's bitter is because he's also prophesying the seven-year tribulation that is coming. And that time that's coming is horrible. I do not wish it on anybody. I don't wish hell on anybody. I really hope that everybody repents and gets back into, you know, pray and and seek God because I'm telling you right now, you do not want to go because these are prophecies that John made and it was bitter. It made his stomach sour. But he had to say these are the prophets that had to speak these words that God told them to speak. So they spoke and these words are over us today and they are applicable. Now what I'm also trying to teach in this message not only to show you these prophets prophecies that are over us that are going to come to pass but to show you how your spoken word becomes a prophecy over you because you are a servant of the most high. You are a believer in Christ, you've acknowledged that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And by the way, those that don't acknowledge, your spoken words are over you as well. So if you're a cursor, somebody who curses all the time, those spoken words are over you. Imagine the frustration that you're living with when you don't have to when you can speak your blessings over your life. You know, and I want you to understand something. I'm not saying that you're going to be rich if you speak richness over you. I mean, you could be. God does anything and everything. You You got to understand that. But, you know, I've prayed for the lottery. I've not won it. But, I have a roof over my head. My house payment is paid every month. I've got food on the table. I've got extra blankets when it's cold. And I've got clothing that's applicable to who I am. I am not for need. You see, that's how the Lord works. That's how he blesses. He provides. I mean, he if he takes care of the birds, as he says in the gospels, he's definitely going to take care of you. So, I may not be speaking prosperity, if you will. But I am speaking blessings, but I understand and know that the seven-year tribulation is coming, which is hell on earth. And I know these things are coming. And as long as I acknowledge both, I'm not living in a fantasy world of richness here. I'm living in the reality of it. So I want you to understand though that even in this you know I got blessed with a huge raise uh last year and the year before which compensated for the financial economic situation we're in right now. It didn't impact me and my household at all. Ain't that amazing? You can see when the Lord is blessing you because you're speaking the blessings on your life that you are in good standing and he will cover you. And it is a miraculous thing. In fact, your borders, your boundaries are protected and the devil can't get to you. Go read Job and find out, you know, Job had a protection. The Lord allowed Satan to come through, but he couldn't get through until the Lord allowed him. You could always go to God and said, "Don't allow this Lord." All right, let's go back to Ezekiel 3:12. Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice. Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place. Now I want you to see God's glory is blessed. This is an angel that spoke this because God's voice is different than a thunderous loud uh loud sound. This thunderous voice was an angel. Whereas God's voice is living waters. You can go look that up. But you can see now his blessing is on the glory which is his boundary. Sin cannot penetrate. You see the enemy cannot penetrate. So God has his protection. So this angel spoke that. It was already spoken before. He's just reiterating it. Okay. Now let's go to Psalm 38. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon your people. Sa God has already blessed us with his son Jesus. You just need to acknowledge, speak it, and you have that salvation upon you. And it's your boundary. It keeps the enemy from penetrating. Watch your words and speak the blessings. The moment you wake up, you need to speak your blessing on the day. It's going to be a good day. It's going to be a good day. No matter where I go to work, no matter what I do, I speak. It's going to be good. And then I bless it. And then I say, "Lord, I ask for your blessing." He already blessed in the word of God. And I can say, "Thank you for your blessing." Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Ezekiel 28:25-26. Thus says the Lord God, when I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered and am hollowed in them in the sight of Gentiles, I want you to see something. Ezekiel prophesied this 3,000 years ago, but it's for today. Look at this. He says, "When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among them whom they were scattered, God scattered the nation of Israel and they came back. And when they came back, they became a nation again in 1948. and the the Jerusalem became a capital in 1967. They're back. What? Look what he says here and am hollowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles. All of us who are believers in Christ know that God's chosen people are the nation of Israel. We respect them. We bless them. We pray for them because that's God's chosen people. They are hollowed in our sight. I'm a Gentile, but I believe in God and am I I'm adopted into his kingdom. So, I'm a part of this nation. And so, I bless them and I'm I just I follow them. I respect them. I give them up to the Lord. That's prophecy being fulfilled today. Let's continue reading that on. Then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob. And they will dwell safely there. Safely there. Build houses and plant vineyards. Yes, they will dwell securely when I execute judgments, when I execute judgments, and all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God. Listen, so even though we're speaking blessings, because then that puts that boundary around us, we know that destruction is on its way. Did you see they will be there securely? When Ezekiel prophesies in Isa in uh Ezekiel 38 about Gog and Magog, Russia and their allies attempting to invade Israel, God stops them. They don't get past the borders because nation of Israel is blessed because there's a spoken prophecy over them. Oh, this is so good. I want you to see that even though the seven-year tribulation is coming, destruction is coming, God's wrath is going to report on the earth, the boundary is around us because we're blessed because we're the bride of Christ. We're part of the nation of Israel now. We're part of this. We're part of God and we're blessed. We get to have what the world can't have, but they're dying and craving for it, but they can't have it. Oh, look at this. You guys have to understand that even though destruction is coming, God's wrath is going to be poured out. We have his blessings and we are protected and blessed. Look at this. Let's continue on. Ezekiel 44:30. The best of all first fruits of any kind and every sacrifice of any kind. From all your sacrifices shall be the priest. Also, you shall give to the priest the first of your ground meal to cause a blessing to rest on your house. Okay? I have taught you how to be a priest and how to atone for your household, for your neighbors. Oh, so you give your first fruits, you give your children, you give your husband, your spouse, your wife, you give your household to the Lord, give your neighborhood to the Lord. Let me tell you something. When you go to bless your neighbors, listen, listen to this very carefully. Let's say you live in a neighborhood and there's uh thievery going on. Bless them. Say, Lord, bless them with prosperity. Bless them so that they have the things that they need. And say, I forgive them of their sins, Lord, and I ask you to forgive them as well. And when you intercede on their behalf like that, what happens? Suddenly they're blessed. They've got goods. They don't want to steal from you anymore because they've got what they need. Do you see how much it impacts you when you bless your enemies? Oh, you got to grasp this. You've got to grasp this, my friend. You have got to understand that when you give the Lord your first, you give him your home, you give him your children, you give him your finances, you give him, you say, "I cast my cares on you, Lord, and I give you my first. I give you my food. I give you this is yours, Lord. And you're constantly putting God first. You make him the center of your life. And you have that relationship built. And you do this daily. This is all the time. And then you bless bless bless the land for rain. Look at what we're getting. We're getting so much rain. You guys could go back and watch my teachings. I've been praying for rain now for a little over a year. And I'm going to tell you, we finally got it. Yes, it is uh rough. We're having some destruction. I'm praying that people don't get hurt. But I am telling you, we needed this rain here in Southern California and Northern California. And it's finally coming back in because we can be restored because the enemy has tried to take that away from us, make us dry, make us hurt and suffer. We don't have to be that. We get to speak blessings. I speak blessings to the land that it will be rich and moist and will be fruitful and multiply. That is how it works, my friend. Speak. Speak up. You need to be speaking the best the blessings over your life and those around you. If you do your part and your neighbors do their part, everybody's doing their part. And imagine what the world will be like. You know, God then has to change, which he can do anything he needs or wants. But I'm going to tell you right now, whether things get changed or not, we have that boundary around us. And the prophecy still stands, he is still bringing his wrath, and it is going to be poured out on this earth. That is how this is going to be. Now look at Revelation here 1:3. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is near. I want you to understand as you're reading the word of God, you're absorbing, you're eating it, you're speaking it. The blessings are on the word that you speak and it becomes a part of your life. And this here is Revelation. This is the very beginning of Revelation where wrath is coming. So he's telling you, you've got to keep the written word. You've got to understand that even though hell on earth is about to break your boundary, your barrier, your blessing, because you are already dead to this world because you live for Christ. This world means nothing to you, but you have everything in it because of God. And the devil gets mad about that. He don't like that. But you know what? Too bad. so sad because my God Jesus is the son of God and I made him Lord of my life and I spoke him as Lord of my life and because he's the Lord of my life. He is the Lord around my household. He is the Lord around everything around me. That is Christ and he is good. Oh hallelujah. Speak the word of God. Romans 10 8-11. I want you to understand something here. I need you to understand so what we're preaching now. So even though we're preaching blessings, we are preaching salvation. This is what the bride of Christ is doing. This is our job. This is the current time. Understand this very carefully. We are preaching that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that you have to confess him as your Lord and Savior. And as you do that, you get salvation and the seed begins to germinate in you and you your life starts to change as you activate that seed. You have an action. You confess, you speak. Let's go look at the scriptures. This is the gospel now. Romans 10:8-11. What does it say? The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart. That is the word of faith which we speak which we preach. That if you confess with your mouth, you speak with your mouth. Do you see this? We're speaking the word of God the Lord g that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes under righteousness and with the mouth confession is made into salvation. For the scripture says, "Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame." This is what we teach. This is what we preach right now. This is what the body of Christ who are declaring Jesus as the son of God is teaching. But guess what? This preaching comes to an end. You will not be able to do this once you enter that seven-year tribulation. So I need you to understand why the bride of Christ does not go through the wrath of God. As you can see, when you speak and you confess Jesus as the son of God and ask him to be your Lord and Savior, that boundary is placed on you. You are no longer appointed to God's wrath. So, when day one begins of the 7-year tribulation period where Gog and Magog invades or attempts to evade Israel, they're killed, earthquake happens, sun goes dark, the moon turns to red. When all that happens on that day, the message, the gospel of Jesus ends. It stops. It is no longer applicable. Why? And how do I know this one? This is when the bride of Christ is going to be removed. We know the 144,000 are going to be sealed. They're going to get a uh something written on their forehead and then the two witnesses are going to show up. Then something happens. Let's go to Revelation. I want you to see there's a different salvation message in this time. Look at this. Revelation 10:3-4. And cried with a loud voice as when a lion roars when he cried out, "Seven thunders utter their voices." is now when the seven thunder thunders uttered their voices. I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them." For the first time in scripture, now Daniel's was also, so it's really the second time in scripture that the word of God is sealed. And in fact, this these words that the thunders uttered have not been shared. Daniel's book is now open and knowledge is expanding and this is why we can understand a little more about what the is going on in the seven-year tribulation. But you can see these words have not been revealed. These thunders are telling the people who are living on the earth at that time and remember the bride of Christ is already gone. The message of salvation is now gone. You cannot repent now. It it's not there. These seven thunders are going to tell you how to get saved. So, if you're still here during that time, you better listen and listen carefully. Now, some theologians believe that you're going to have to be beheaded. I don't know. I know that there are going to be sacrifices because they will be beheading people who will not take the mark of the beast. Don't take the mark of the beast. Whatever you do, in fact, I want you to see something here. Even if you don't believe, just don't take the mark of the beast because I believe that because you defend Christ, you reject the Antichrist, you're you're not accepting the Antichrist, I think you're going to still get saved. I want you to see something here in John chapter 9. Watch this. This is very powerful. Okay? And in to give you some context here in John chapter nine, uh, a blind man was born. And now he's a young adult or adult I don't know how old he is but uh uh God heals him and and he's got in fact the way the words are uh understood is that he has u no eye sockets he's born weird it's different and so the Pharisees Sadducees are saying well what sin did his parents commit that caused this guy to be born this way and you know and that is what it is there sin brings consequences uh that's why Some people have cancers. Uh depending on what sin you're doing, there are rare blood disease orders. Your city rejecting Christ. All that comes to haunt you later. And this is why you need to repent. Okay. So anyways, the Pharisees, Sadducees are asking, they're hounding this guy. This guy doesn't believe in Christ, but God created healed him. And in fact, Jesus says, "No, there's no sin here. I I just did this because I wanted you to see something." Okay, let's go see what Jesus wanted us to see. Watch what this guy does. This is the guy that got healed and he's saying he whether he talking about Jesus is a sinner or not. I do not know. One thing I know though that I was blind and now I see. Then they said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" He told him, "I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?" He's really taking them off. I'm telling you right now. But what happened is Jesus comes back to him later because he defended Jesus but he wasn't saved. But Jesus comes back, meets up with him second time and then converses with him and he gets saved. But you see how he defended Christ. If you're part of that seven-year tribulation and you reject the the mark of the beast, Jesus will save you. I want you to know that. I want you to understand that. You need to defend that Jesus is the son of God. It's easier if you do it now. Believe you me, you want to repent now. Don't wait for that time. And I already told you in many messages that that time is going to happen in our lifetime. When you start to see uh Mark, Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, those prophecy the spoken word when Jesus said there'll be rumors of wars and wars, Ukraine and Russia, Taiwan and China and any of the other places that are going on. You hear these things, you see these things. Look at what happened since 1900s. We've had World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan War. We've had all these wars. And did you see that was like a 100 plus years ago that this all started? Then you have large earthquakes in various places. When's the very first large earthquake that began? Just a shy of 120 years ago. Hear these words, guys. Hear these words. So, and that was in 1906. And it was in April and it happened up in San Francisco. big huge earthquake. Wait a minute. Isn't that when the Isuza strike revival was going on? You guys got to go look that up. So all of that started happening and then pestilence and famines. Wait a second here. COVID HN1, SARS, AIDS. We've been having it. The black uh plague, the bubonic plague, uh we've been having these diseases hit us. And by the way, that was a resurgence of the bubanic plague in 1906, right around that same time. You go look all this up. All of this started. And when you see those prophecies get fulfilled, just know this generation shall not pass away. This is it. This is our lifetime. So now is the time to repent and get close to God. And you want to because then you can be like Noah. You can be like Job. You can be like Moses. You can be like these men of God who God called righteous. And you will know the mysteries of the word of God. You will know because he wants to share it with you. He told Noah, seven days in advance, I'm going to flood the earth, get into the ark. And he did. But the rest of the world didn't know. They were all unrighteous people. My friend, now is the time to repent. Now, now is the time to spend time with God and give him the glory and to speak the blessings on your life. Confess Jesus is the son of God. Confess that he's your Lord and Savior. And every morning you get up, say, "It's going to be a good day." Every night before you go to bed, is going to be a good night of sleep. You start speaking these blessings on you. Speak it over your neighbor. Speak it over your household. Speak it over your work. Speak and have blessings on your life. And watch the words that you say. So if you feel like you're coming down with something, don't say it. Say, "Nope, I don't have time for you. Get out of here. I am blessed. I'm healed. I'm good. And God has already blessed me." Hallelujah. All right. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message. We thank you for your blessing on it. Oh, let us live it and apply it and speak your word and your blessings over our lives, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. God bless you and we will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home
- CATCH THE ANOINTING | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
CATCH THE ANOINTING The objective of Catch the Anointing is to teach believers what the anointing of God is, how it abides in them, and how to position themselves in faith and obedience to experience it fully. It emphasizes the importance of abiding in Christ, waiting in Godâs presence, and living in praise and worship so that the anointing can be activated in their livesâespecially as signs of the last days unfold. CATCH THE ANOINTING Minister Lisa Kane June 13, 2021 Objective: The objective of Catch the Anointing is to teach believers what the anointing of God is, how it abides in them, and how to position themselves in faith and obedience to experience it fully. It emphasizes the importance of abiding in Christ, waiting in Godâs presence, and living in praise and worship so that the anointing can be activated in their livesâespecially as signs of the last days unfold. Synopsis: In Catch the Anointing, Minister Lisa Kane teaches on the meaning and significance of the anointing as described in 1 John 2:27, presenting it as a divine empowerment that comes directly from God to instruct and strengthen believers beyond human wisdom. The message begins by defining the anointing and demonstrating its manifestations through biblical accounts (Acts 2, the Day of Pentecost) and historical revivals (Azusa Street Revival of 1906), both marked by the Holy Spiritâs outpouring, tongues of fire, healings, and mass conversions. Minister Lisa then addresses the present day, questioning why such demonstrations are rarely seen and reminding believers of Godâs prophetic promise in Acts 2:17â20 and Joel 2:28â32âthat His Spirit will again be poured out in the last days. With prophetic signs already visibleâwars, pestilence, natural disasters, and Israelâs restorationâshe urges Christians to prepare by dwelling in Godâs presence. Drawing from passages in Jeremiah and Psalms, Minister Lisa emphasizes that the anointing begins in the âdwelling place,â where mercy and forgiveness are received. Believers must abide in Him through repentance, thanksgiving, praise, and worship, declaring, âGod, I belong to You and You belong to me.â Just as the early disciples and those at Azusa Street waited for the Spirit, so too must todayâs believers wait with expectation. Ultimately, Catch the Anointing is a call to readiness. Minister Lisa encourages Christians to abide in Christ, worship, and wait in faith, knowing the Church will once again experience the supernatural outpouring of the Spirit, equipping Godâs people to walk in power and endure the end times as His faithful remnant. Inspired Teaching: If youâre not a believer, this message wonât make sense to you. To understand, become a believer by saying this prayer out loud: Dear Jesus, I ask You to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. In Jesusâ name amen! 1 John 2:27 NKJV 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [a]will abide in Him. What is the anointing? Itâs something that God gives you, the believer, that abides in you. It allows you to be taught the Word of God by this âanointingâ and not man. It is truthful and not misleading nor is it contaminated by manâs way of thinking or beliefs. First, we need to ask ourselves what is the anointing because once we recognize what that is, we can move to the next step, abiding in Him, to activate this anointing. Acts 2:2-3 NKJV 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them [a]divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. On April 9, 1906, we saw this same thing happen on Azusa street, downtown Los Angeles. Hereâs an except of the event on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azusa_Street_Revival On the night of April 9, 1906, Seymour and seven men were waiting on God on Bonnie Brae Street, "when suddenly, as though hit by a bolt of lightning, they were knocked from their chairs to the floor," and the other seven men began to speak in tongues and shout out loud praising God. The news quickly spread; the city was stirred; crowds gathered; and a few days later Seymour himself received the Holy Spirit; services were moved outside to accommodate the crowds who came from all around; people fell down under the power of God as they approached; people were baptized in the Holy Spirit and the sick were healed and sinners received salvation.[2] This is the same thing that happened when the 120 individuals were in the upper room waiting after Jesus ascended into heaven in Acts chapter 2. The anointing has physical attributes. Itâs a mighty rushing wind that comes. It feels like being hit by a bolt of lightening. It physically feels like youâre knocked down and folks start speaking in tongues that people will recognize as their own language. Acts even describes those tongues as fire on top of each of those persons. You may want to take a moment to read Acts chapter 2. It also draws a lot of attention. In both Acts and Azusa street revivals, people were drawn, saved, healed, and delivered. Is this anointing dead? I ask this question because I donât see this happening today, June 13, 2021. Why donât we see it anymore? If it happened in Acts and on Azusa street, it can happen today and we know it will happen just before the return of the Lord on that great and dreadful day of the Lord: Acts 2:17-20 NKJV 17 âAnd it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. So, if this should happen in the end times, we need to take a closer look at this and be ready for it because weâre already seeing people have dreams and visions. We saw Israel became a name in 1947. We saw Jerusalem become the capital in 1967. We saw the pestilence of covid, weâre seeing large earthquakes, weâre seeing wars and rumor of wars â Matthew 24, Luke 21, Jeremiah 30:3, etc. One very important factor to notice about Acts and the Azusa street revival is at the beginning of both events. People were waiting in a dwelling place. Letâs read 1 John 2:27 again⌠1 John 2:27 NKJV 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [a]will abide in Him. Notice the last statement: âwill abide in Himâ. What does it mean to âabide in Himâ and why is that important? Jeremiah 30:18a NKJV âThus says the Lord: âBehold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacobâs tents, And have mercy on his dwelling places; Jeremiah 30:21b-22 NKJV Then I will cause him to draw near, And he shall approach Me; For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?â says the Lord. 22 âYou shall be My people, And I will be your God.â â First, Jeremiah tells us that the Lord will bring back the captivity of Jacobâs tents â dwelling place. Where you are, is your dwelling place. Jeremiah tells us that God will have mercy on that dwelling place. Mercy means forgiveness. Where you are, ask God to forgive you. As Job did it all the time for himself, and his family, we should do so always also. I suggest reading the book of Job at your earliest convenience. Second, once you have that mercy, how should you respond? How do you show your thankfulness. Read Jeremiah 30:22 again. 22 âYou shall be My people, And I will be your God.â â In your dwelling place, say this: âGod, I belong to You and You belong to meâ. Thatâs one way to say thank you. Or another words, praise and worship Him. Say things that acknowledges God is great. Here are a couple of scriptures that praises God: Matthew 21:42 NKJV 42 Jesus said to them, âHave you never read in the Scriptures: âThe stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lordâs doing, And it is marvelous in our eyesâ? You can call Him the chief cornerstone knowing that He is marvelous. Psalm 8:1 NKJV 8 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! You can tell Him how great is His name and how His glory is above the heavens. Iâll let you take the adventure from here to explore other ways from the Word of God on what to say during praise and worship. Now that youâre in the dwelling place, declaring that God belongs to you and you belong to God, now you wait. The 120 waited â Acts 2âŚWilliam Seymour and those seven men waited. You wait knowing that: Joel 2:28-32 NKJV (This is what Peter quoted in Acts 2 beginning in verse 17 (read earlier) 28 âAnd it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 âAnd I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be [a]saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be [b]deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls. Itâs time to be in that waiting place, dwelling in the secret place with God, being a part of that remnant the Lord calls, because His end is coming and we need to be ready to CATCH THE ANOINTING!

ATONEMENT The purpose of this teaching is to explain the biblical meaning and power of atonement, revealing how Christâs sacrifice as High Priest covered sin and established a model for believers to follow. It aims to show that Christians are called to fulfill their own priestly responsibilitiesâinterceding, making spiritual sacrifices, and covering others through compassion and prayerâso that we may walk in authority, love, and reconciliation until Christ returns as King. < Back ATONEMENT Minister Lisa Kane September 4, 2022 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to explain the biblical meaning and power of atonement, revealing how Christâs sacrifice as High Priest covered sin and established a model for believers to follow. It aims to show that Christians are called to fulfill their own priestly responsibilitiesâinterceding, making spiritual sacrifices, and covering others through compassion and prayerâso that we may walk in authority, love, and reconciliation until Christ returns as King. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane explores the deep spiritual truth of atonement through the lens of Proverbs 16:6, Hebrews, Exodus, and other key scriptures. She explains that atonement means âto coverâ and traces its Hebrew roots, connecting it to the imagery of oil and pitchâboth protective coverings and sources of empowerment. Christ, in His first coming, fulfilled His role as High Priest by atoning for humanityâs sins, and believers are called to imitate Him in priestly duties before entering their royal inheritance with Him at His second coming. Lisa emphasizes that being a priest means interceding for those who are ignorant of sin, offering compassion rather than condemnation, and making spiritual sacrifices such as laying down hatred, gossip, and unforgiveness. She draws parallels to Aaronâs priesthood, the anointing oil, and the process of refinement, showing how God equips believers with both power (fuel) and protection (covering). The message challenges listeners to take responsibility for their households, workplaces, and communities by making atonement through prayer, love, and intercession. By doing so, Christians build eternal rewards on the foundation of Christ and prepare with confidence for His return as King. The teaching closes with a call to embrace our priestly role daily, walking in humility, authority, and the covering of Christâs sacrifice. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Saturday, September 4th, 2022. And this message is called Atonement. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message. We thank you for your blessing on it. Let it nourish our spirits and our minds. Let it feed us. Let us receive, believe, apply, and walk in your word, Father God. and let us hear and live this revelation, Father God, in the glorious, wonderful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture. Here we are going to be looking at Proverbs. Proverbs 16:6. Now, I want you to see that I have the same scripture here written twice. One from the New King James Version and one from the King James version. So, the New King James Version says it like this. In mercy and truth, atonement is provided for iniquity, and by the fear of the Lord, one departs from evil. And then the King James version says, by mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. All right. So, let's get a basic understanding of atonement here because when you think of that word, it's like, do you really understand what it means? So atonement is is paying for the sins. It it is a covering against the sins. Let's look at the definition of it here in the Strongs dictionary in the Hebrew. It it's number H3722. It's kafar is how you say it or close to that. Don't take my word for that saying. But it's a primitive root and it means to cover. And look at this specifically with bitamin. And we're going to get to bitamin in just a minute. And then of course figuratively to expedate or condone, to plate or cancel, appease, make atonement, cleanse, disinol, forgive, be merciful, pacify, pardon. Look at this word to pitch. We're going to get to that in a moment. And purge, which is what we saw in the King James version, away, put off, and make reconciliation. So now you're kind of getting an understanding here. So, you know, when you look at what Jesus did and he redeemed us, he made atonement for us because he covered us for those who choose to believe in him. And that is how this goes. But now I want you to see and understand something here. Jesus, his first coming came to fulfill the word as a priest. Didn't come as a king, which kind of offput the the Israelites. They did not like that. They were expecting a king. Well, he's going to come back as a king in his second coming, but his first coming was as a priest. He needed to deal with sin and that's exactly what he did. So now, if Jesus Christ did that and yet you read everything in the New Testament kind of tells you to be Christlike, does this mean we have to be a priest before we can be a king or a queen? Well, yeah. And if we're going to rule after the thousand-year millennium or in that time period that Revelation talks about, again, you can go check out those scriptures yourself, then that means we have to fulfill our priestly duties just like Christ did. This is where the the power of atonement comes in. And and you guys are going to get this. This is an awesome revelation. I want you to see this. So let's take a look at the foundation of the scriptures of why we need to be priestly here. 1 Peter 2:5, you also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Okay. So let's define your spiritual house. What is your responsibility? So if you're the one male, female, doesn't matter. There were priestesses and priests, okay? and they were in the Israelites. So this is this is not just designated for male or female. But if you're the one spending time with God and which we all should be doing, but not all does, but if you are doing that, you have a responsibility to those around you, your area. You see, Jesus came back as a priest for the entire world. We don't have to do it for the entire world. We just need to do it for what we're responsible for, which is in my case, it's my household. It is my workplace. Oh, we're gonna get into some very sensitive stuff here because how many of us are not crazy about our bosses. Anyways, so you kind of get this idea of what your responsibility is as a priest now, which means we've got to change something on the inside. So, there's atonement that's going to take place here, and you're going to see how this works and applies. Very powerful. I love this message. This a good message. Hebrews 5, we're going to read verses 1-4. For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. Again, this all has to do with sin. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. We have all sinned. And that includes us who need to be priestly, which included Aaron who became priests, who was called by God. And by the way, we're called by God. anyone who's coming into this, God is calling us to be that priestly individual to take up our responsibility for our area. So, let's continue on here. Verse two, he can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray. That's the priest. You see, if you're seeing someone living in sin, co-orker, family member, whomever, you have the responsibility to what? have compassion on them because they're ignorant. They don't know they haven't come into the glory of God like we have. So that is a responsibility. Look at this. Since he himself is also subject to weakness, we are subject even priestly. So Aaron had to do it too. Look at let's continue on with the scriptures. Because of this he is required as uh as for the people. so also for himself to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes his honor to himself, but he was called by God just as Aaron was. So it's an exact replica of what Aaron was like taking on that priestly responsibility. Now, this is going to get very interesting. So let's continue on. Let's look at some more scripture here. Exodus 29:1A. And again, we're dealing with Aaron and what he's called to do. pieces and this is what you shall do to them to hollow them for ministering to me as priests. Now, I am not going to go into every detail of a priest and what a priest does. We're just going to be talking about atonement today. You are more than welcome to go read those scriptures and learn more of what the priestly duties are. So, I stopped here the first half of verse one there. Now, let's continue on with the next set of scriptures because now we're going to continue where the atonement is in verse 7. Look at this. Hebrew or excuse me, Exodus 29:7. and you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him. Okay, now that I've laid some foundational scriptures, I want you to see something. So, what a priest does is he makes atonement for those who are ignorant. But he also declares another priest. Now, let's talk about the anointing oil and what this does because remember what the definition is. And you know what? It's worth going back and looking at that screenshot that that screen of the definition because I think once you see this you it's going to blow your mind away. So a primitive roof to cover specifically with bitamin. Okay. Oil crude oil you know and there is a huge attack on the industry right now about climate change and using dirty oil. By the way if oil works and oil is powerful it works. There are dirty jobs out there. So you know it works. um why, you know, they're against oil is just beyond me. And and of course they think, well, you know, there's not going to be enough fossil fuels to last for a century. Well, and that is in regards to Yeah, but if you read the scriptures, the scriptures tell us that this world's coming to an end. We don't need it to last forever. And so, you have to understand that. Okay. But anyways, crude oil has a process to it. So, you have oil in itself, but it really I mean, it's there. It's crude. That's oil. But if you refine oil, you get two parts. Now there's that number two. Two always means choice or direction. Spiritual meaning you can go the spiritual direction or you can go the physical direction. If you have any dreams that have to deal with the number two or two paths, two bridges to anything. It is always a choice that you have to make and it can be spiritual or physical. That's what the number two means. So oil splits into two parts. Now you have the part where it becomes gasoline. And the more you refine it, by the way, the more powerful gasoline becomes. And what is gasoline? It's fuel for your car. Well, in the spiritual, it's fuel for your power and authority. It goes poof. It is the air. It is the numa. It is your power and authority that goes forth because the anointing oil got poured on you. And what happens when you get refined by God? You go through that pressure. You go through the stress. You sweat it out. You're having a hard time. It's refining and it's doing two things. It's giving you the power and the authority because you're learning mentally, spiritually what the power of God is. But then it makes a second part called the bitamin. The bitamin is the part that is the viscous, the pitch. Kind of like Noah's arc. You had to put the pitch in there. You had to put the pitch in anything. What does pitch do? It's a covering and it makes it waterproof. Oh, this is getting really good. I want you to see now when the enemy tries to attack you, the rain, the the the thunderstorms, the the season of torment, it comes to attack, but it washes right off of you because you got the covering of the anointing oil on you with your power and authority that you can move forward and whatever the enemy does, it just slicks right off of you because you got the viscus over you, the pitch, the tar, whatever it may be. You can't see it in the spirit, but you know it's there because the enemy can't stick his arrows in you. They can't stick. Oh, do you see this? Do you see what the power and the authority you have? And this is as a priest. Oh, this this is very, very, very powerful stuff. I want you to see this. I really want you guys to get this. So, now let's take a look at what this priest does. Leviticus 16:32. And the priest who is anointed and consecrated to minister as priest in his father's place shall make atonement. Put on the linen clothes, the holy garments. Again, you can go read the rest of the scriptures of how, you know, to get here to even preach this message. You know, as a priest, priestess, I come in, I cleanse myself, I take my shower, wash my face, do up my hair, I cling my my table here. I get everything prepared and ready because I need to be clean when I come into the presence of the Lord to teach the word of God to make atonement. I am trying to teach you how to repent and come out of your sins by sharing the word of God. Now look at this in the spiritual sense. Okay? So, if you're responsible for your household and you're responsible for your co-workers and anyone around in your area, whatever you have taken on that responsibility for, if you go out preaching on the street corners, you've got that street corner, that is your responsibility. These are your areas. What you do is you need to make atonement. Well, how do you do that? Okay, so atonement is where you intercede. Now, when a priest would go into, this is prior to Christ's coming, he would go into the Holy of Holies, he would have a string tied around his foot because if he didn't come in right, the Lord took his life instantly and they'd pull his body out. This is how serious this is. So, be very serious. So, you got to have the right heart. So, first you need to humble yourself. So, uh, if you read 1 Corinthians 13 talks about doing everything with love. If you've got a hatred toward anybody that you're responsible for, you need to take care of that. And and you know what? Just simply start saying the words and say, "Lord, I need help. I hate this person, but I want to love them." And then start saying, "I love you. I love you. I love you." And what happens is you get that humility going into your heart and your mind and you start to change on the inside because you're allowing the Holy Spirit to change you. So now when you're facing a situation in work where you question people and their motives and what they're doing, they may have equal uh evil, wicked plots against you. Remember, we don't fight against flesh and blood, but we fight against principalities, powers of the air, and evil evil, wicked plots, okay? We get to fight against that. We don't know it sometimes, but we see things. They're telltale signs. But instead of bringing those telltale signs to service by talking about it, gossiping about it, or what is so and so up to? He's just an idiot. You see, when you start saying things that you're cursing the situation and you're making it worse for yourself. Instead, come into the presence of the Lord in your secret place and make atonement for their ignorance and the sin that they're committing that they don't even know. Because hell is not for everybody. Hell is for the devil. But even if you hate that person and you wish them hell sometimes, you've got to realize that's not for them and it is your responsibility to atone for them. So, but he did you go into the presence of the Lord and you said, "Lord, I'm coming in as my priestly duty and I'm asking you to forgive them of their sins and I forgive them of their sins as well. I know I have the anointing oil on me. I know that I have the power and the authority to say that because I'm called by you and I have my priestly responsibilities to do this. And not only am I called, I know I'm covered by the vitamin process that is there, the viscous. And that means there those enemies that are doing that cannot stick doing what they're doing. And I know Lord and I speak and I ask for divine intervention and I ask that you come in and help them come out of their ignorance. Now do you see the difference here now? Instead of cursing them, you're blessing the situation. And what does that do to you? That comes back to you, me, and it changes the situation. I had done this. I can't remember it was last Monday night or last Tuesday night when I got this revelation and the next day was just an unbelievable day. You know, I can't go into the details because I don't want to name names and all the circumstances and situation, but I can say that I saw God move and I was like, "Wow, Lord." So, this this works. This is a powerful thing. So, let's continue on here. Hebrews uh 9:11. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation. Again, it comes down to what would Jesus do? Jesus did it first. He went to the cross and died on the cross for our sins. Even for those who didn't know him and were continuing to hate and curse him. Even those that are standing there, you know, sounding like dogs going off if you read Psalm. And you you'll see that Christ did it anyways. You see that humility? And this is what a priest does. It It's challenging, but this is something that you need to do. Let's continue on to verse 26 here in Hebrews 29 or Hebrews 9. He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world, but now once at the end of the ages, he has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. It's a sacrifice. You're sacrificing your hatred. And notice what Paul is talking about here. He's talking about how many times Jesus had to go to the cross once. He didn't have to go multiple times. Whereas Levitic Aaron and the old days every year had to have the day of atonement. They had to do this for the nation of Israel. Once a year you had to bring in a bull and sacrifice the bull. Well, here now Jesus did it once. He did it and it tore the veil. So now there's no holy of holies where a priest goes into anymore. So now as a spiritual matter and as a Christlike person who spends time with God taking up your priestly responsibilities what do you do you sacrifice your hatred your curses your gossip and you say Lord I'm blessing this and I'm speaking atonement speaking on behalf of them because they're ignorant and they're walking in sin and they don't even know and I'm asking you for divine intervention and I'm telling you the Lord moves and it takes faith. It takes faith but that sacrifice is what gets things started. Now let's look at the verse 27 and 28 of uh Hebrews 9. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many to those who eagerly wait for him. He will appear a second time apart from sin for salvation. Now notice he's coming a second time apart from sin. He's coming a second time to be king. So you see the difference here. So right now in this moment because he has not come back a second time. We need to take up our priestly duties and make our sacrifice. Now they did it once a year. The Israelites I say do it every day if you can. You know it we're doing dealing with spiritual matters and the enemy is getting more and more vicious right now. Especially as we're in this end times. Christ is coming back and he's going to be the king which means we will move into our royal duties with him in the heavenly but here for now we have our priestly duties and our priestly responsibilities to those to those ignorant in sin. So what does that mean? Look at first John 2:28. And now little children abide in him that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. You take up your responsibility. You've got the confidence to say, "I know my Christ, my king is coming. I know that because I'm dealing with spiritual matter in the priestly things right now." Amen. Amen. Look at this. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. And keep in mind, all of this is founded on what Jesus has done. This is what Jesus did to deal with the fall of man. Remember, first Adam sinned. Man fell. Now Jesus came and redeemed. If Adam didn't exist, none of this would mean anything. But I'm promising you this. Adam and Eve were real. Read the book of Genesis. You You know what? That will tell you why things happen. why they they got said, you know, the devil was sitting there in the garden of Eden and it tells you about that in Ezekiel and he's watching God and Adam bond and God is interacting with Adam and he's in love with Adam. Th this tells you how much he loves us because it also shows what he did. He sent his son for us because of his love for us. And uh there there they are just bonding and the Lucifer is getting angrier and angrier and more bitter because he's like I'm the one who's made of perfection. You should be spending time with me, not that weak looking creature. And in fact, in his mind's like, you know what, God, you left. I'm going to go deceive these people. And he did. He was successful at that. And so man fell. But God didn't give up on us. And he didn't give us give up on us when the flood happened. and he still let eight survivors uh get through so that we could be here today. I know that you see a an evil world. It is full of darkness and you want to hate. I'm right there with you. But God says, "Listen, take up your priestly duties. Sacrifice your hatred. Sacrifice your gossip. Sacrifice it and let me deal with it spiritually." Oh, let's continue on with 1 Corinthians 53 here, verses 11-15. Verse 12. Now, if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw. Each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved yet. So is through fire. We are building up our royalty in the afterlife. This is why once you die and you've not accepted Christ into your heart, it's too late. You've lost your opportunity. But the moment you ask Jesus Christ into your heart, and it only takes one time when you call upon the Lord, you shall be saved. He that and it says that in Joel and it says that in Romans. You call upon the name of the Lord, you shall be saved. Saved from the circumstance and saved for eternity. Now, some are going to make it and some are just going to barely make it is basically what Paul was saying. But those of us that take up our royal priesthood and we start building our foundation with that gold and the silver, you know, and when that fire, the burning comes through and we we're under that refinement, that burn. What survives the fire, what's left there won't be straw. It won't be hay, but it will be the gold and the silver, the metals, the metals that we're grabbing in the spiritual. Amen. And that is what our eternity will be. And so I beg you, take up your priesthood responsibility. Imagine if everyone had done that. I would imagine that our world would not be in the evil situation it is today. Of course, God is in control and we know that he is returning and that his prophecies have to be fulfilled. So, but here we are now learning this that revelation. But it is awesome because I can still affect my area and until he comes, I'm going to continue to grab his word, take it from the Holy Spirit and apply it to my life and to the responsible areas that I have. And I encourage you to do the same thing. take up your priestly your priestly duties and make your sacrifices unto the Lord and make atonement for those that you're responsible for whether you love them or not. But ask the Lord to show you the love because he loves them. And sometimes we wonder why do you love them, Lord? But he does. But he loves you, too. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. We thank you for teaching us about atonement and our priestly responsibilities and duties, Father God. And I pray that we can have the strength to ask you and your Holy Spirit for help in overcoming the hatred and gossip and and to be the better blesser and the one that can make the atonement for those ignorant and walking in sin and they don't even realize it. We thank you for your revelation. We thank you for giving us that strength. And in the name of Jesus, we bless this message and we bless you. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I just couple quick announcements. Obviously, we were on vacation, so I skipped a twoe period in teaching. Now, last week, we were supposed to put up a message from the youth message, and my fault. I didn't charge the battery before going, and um I don't know how much of the message I got. So, we're not going to put that message up, but uh I will be teaching again in two weeks. And then at the end of September, we'll have another youth message and we will get that posted up because I promise you, I will charge those batteries and have it ready to go. God bless you and have a wonderful time and spend time with the Lord. Amen. Previous Next Home
- A BELIEVER'S UNBELIEF | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
A BELIEVER'S UNBELIEF To expose the subtle yet crippling impact of unbelief in the lives of believers and to lead them into spiritual awareness, repentance, and transformation through the power of confession, prayer, fasting, and faith in Jesus Christ. A BELIEVER'S UNBELIEF Minister Lisa Kane October 22, 2025 Objective: To expose the subtle yet crippling impact of unbelief in the lives of believers and to lead them into spiritual awareness, repentance, and transformation through the power of confession, prayer, fasting, and faith in Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In A Believerâs Unbelief, Minister Lisa Kane delivers a powerful teaching on how unbelief silently hinders the lives of believers, keeping them from walking in the fullness of Godâs power and promises. Drawing from key scriptures in Hebrews, Romans, Mark, and Matthew, she illustrates that unbelief is more than doubtâit is spiritual hardness that blocks us from experiencing the supernatural life Jesus intended. The message challenges listeners to recognize the areas in their lives where unbelief persists, even while professing faith. Minister Lisa explores the spiritual implications of unbelief through the failure of the disciples to cast out a demon, the cry of a desperate father for help with his unbelief, and even how Jesus Himself was limited by the unbelief of others. She emphasizes that confession is the gateway to overcoming unbeliefâconfession as humility, alignment with truth, and a declaration of faith in Jesus' lordship. Prayer and fasting are highlighted as necessary disciplines to combat unbelief and grow in spiritual authority. Through biblical insight and practical reflection, A Believerâs Unbelief calls believers to a deeper faithâone that not only acknowledges Jesus as Savior but also embraces the power of His resurrection, healing, and deliverance. The message ends with a personal call: ask God to reveal where unbelief resides, confess Jesus over those areas, and begin to walk in the full measure of faith and power promised to every believer. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Unbelief hinders us greatly, and many who are believers donât realize it. Unbelief keeps us from walking in the power of God and it makes us blind to everything around us. In fact, unbelief causes our heart, (soul â thoughts and feelings) to become hardened. Hebrews 3:7-8 NKJV 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: âToday, if you will hear His voice, 8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Notice earlier in the chapter, we read: Hebrews 3:1-2 NKJV Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. Confession is what helps us with unbelief. When we confess, it is an act of humility before the Lord. It is our spirit saying we were wrong and we need forgiveness, healing, deliverance, etc. Hebrews 3:16-19 NKJV 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. When we walk in unbelief, we stay in the dry desert, wilderness and donât reach the promise land. So, how do we confess? Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 1 John 1:9 NKJV 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Jesus promised us that He will forgive and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. Another way to say this is that when we confess, we are called righteous. Once in that righteous state of mind, we walk in the power of God. Jesus demonstrated to us in scripture what unbelief did to His disciples. Mark 9:17-29 NKJV 17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, âTeacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.â 19 He answered him and said, âO faithless[b] generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I [c]bear with you? Bring him to Me.â 20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. 21 So He asked his father, âHow long has this been happening to him?â And he said, âFrom childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.â 23 Jesus said to him, âIf[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.â 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, âLord, I believe; help my unbelief!â 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, âDeaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!â 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, âHe is dead.â 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, âWhy could we not cast it out?â 29 So He said to them, âThis kind can come out by nothing but prayer [e]and fasting.â Letâs read the same event in Matthew: Matthew 17:14-21 NKJV 14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 âLord, have mercy on my son, for he is [c]an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.â 17 Then Jesus answered and said, âO [d]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.â 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, âWhy could we not cast it out?â 20 So Jesus said to them, âBecause of your [e]unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, âMove from here to there,â and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 [f]However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.â The disciples were unable to cast out this demon. Now notice, the disciples had already been casting out demons and knew how to do so. This wasnât because they didnât know what they were doing. Jesus explained to His disciples that unbelief played a role in this, as well as not being prepared through prayer and fasting. But look how Jesus handled the situation. He told the man that brought his son to him that if you believe, all things are possible. The man responded saying I believe but help me with my unbelief. He, the man, the father of this demon possessed child acknowledged that he could not help his son because he had no power. Since he had no power, he reached out to Jesusâ disciples and imagine what he thought when he saw that even the disciples could not cast out the demon. He came to the disciples because he believed but his belief was shaken. So Jesus reminded him but he said I believe but I need help with my unbelief. Because at this point, what else could be done when the disciples could not cast out the demon? Then Jesus cast the demon out and healed the boy. The disciples knew something wasnât right here, which caused their belief to shaken. At this point, Jesus needed to restore their belief explaining that when you are shaken like this, you need to go back to the scripture, to Jesus and find out whatâs going on. You need to bring your belief back up and Jesus did that by explaining that to cast out this kind of demon you need to be in prayer and fasting. Based on the outcome, the disciples werenât praying and fasting like Jesus. Even Jesus was limited on what He could do when unbelief was present. Mark 6:5-6 NKJV 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. Here we are today, where unbelief is rampant here in America. This level of unbelief prevents the spirit from moving. Even the disciples didnât believe those who told them Jesus had risen and Jesus rebuked them for their unbelief. Mark 16:14-18 NKJV 14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, âGo into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who [d]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[e] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.â Unbelief keeps us from walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. The question you should ask yourself is what areas in your life where unbelief is true. Many believe in Jesus but donât believe in the power of Jesus. For example, do you believe that Jesus saved you or are you hoping that He will save you? Do you believe Jesus heals? Do you believe Jesus delivers? Ask yourself what you believe and ask God to help you see the areas of unbelief in your life like the father of the son demon possessed. Then confess Jesus is Lord over that area in your life and watch God move over that area so that your unbelief is turned to belief. Home Previous Next

HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satanâs deceptive âprogrammingâ and âconditioningâ that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christâs authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. < Back HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 Pastor Marcos Marrero July 1, 2004 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satanâs deceptive âprogrammingâ and âconditioningâ that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christâs authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. Synopsis: This teaching explores the authority of Jesus Christ and how it brings healing to the brokenhearted. From the beginning, humanity was given dominion by God, but that authority was stolen by Satan through disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Jesus came to restore what was lost, granting believers the power to overcome every work of the enemy. The lesson highlights how religious leaders in Matthew 21 questioned Jesusâ authority, exposing a common tactic of Satanâcausing people to doubt the authority of Godâs Word. This same doubt weakens believers today, preventing them from walking in victory. Scripture makes clear that while Satanâs program is to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came to give abundant life. Yet many Christians remain bound because of Satanâs âprogrammingâ and âconditioningâ in their hearts, whether through rejection, false teaching, generational patterns, or personal wounds. These hidden influences can produce double-mindedness, fear, and even self-destruction, blocking the flow of Godâs blessings. Biblical examples such as Balaam and Balak (Revelation 2:14) show how compromise with false doctrine removes spiritual authority, while Paulâs warnings in 2 Timothy 3 remind us that not all who appear godly truly walk in Godâs power. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to recognize and break free from the enemyâs conditioning, to anchor their faith in the unshakable authority of Christ, and to receive the wholeness and peace Jesus provides. Inspired Teaching: We long for that day, dear Lord Jesus, when we'll finally meet you face to face and we'll be able to bow down before you, Father God, and personally give you h praise and glory for all that you have done for us. Thank you, Lord, in advance. Thank you for opening our ears to hear this morning. Thank you for granting us a heart that has understanding. Anoint your word this morning, Father God, that it may become food for our spirit, for our soul, and for our body. In Jesus name, I pray your blessing upon each and every person in this class this morning. Father, thank you for meeting every need of their heart. Father, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Praise God. We're going to talk uh this morning in the concerning the authority of Jesus Christ, how it relates to healing of the broken heart. Our first lesson that we did, we dealt with the mechanics of what Jesus came to do. Jesus says, "I came to heal the brokenhearted." This is part of what Jesus came to do. That was lesson number one. In lesson number two, we dealt with the spirit of rejection. We found out that one of the tools that Satan uses the most against believers is rejection. And that goes all the way back to the garden when men was rejected because of his and her disobedient men and women disobeyed the word of God. Now today in this series of healing the brokenhearted or dealing with a broken heart, I want to focus into how Jesus uh uh has given us authority over all of the power of the enemy. And Satan uses everything that he can to keep us from exercising that authority. How many do you know that if you have authority to do something and that authority can be removed or taken from you then you you may have authority but it's no good to you if you cannot use it. I want to start with Matthew 21 verse 23. And I want you to see something from uh what happened to the children of Israel in Matthew 21:23. We read now when he Jesus came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you these this authority?" Now notice that it's the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now we need to understand that the children of Israel were programmed as if it were all the way from the beginning of time to accept the Messiah. Last week when we're dealing with the spirit of rejection as men and women were being kicked out of the garden just from their disobedience to the word, God said to Eve, "Your seed will crush the head of the serpent." So, ever since that time, mankind has been waiting for the seed of the woman or a son of a woman that would come up and would become like Adam was, but instead of failing like Adam would crush or defeat the enemy, would have the authority of God because what was lost in the garden was authority. God said to Adam and Eve, I give you dominion. and Satan stole that dominion. Okay? So, God promised, "I will res restore dominion to man." So, here comes Jesus. And I want you to put this into perspective. We know from John chapter 3 that Jesus was doing things that only God could do. We know that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Why? Because he was afraid of the chief priests and the elders. He came by night. And he says, "Rabbi, nobody, nobody can do the things that you do unless God be with him. Nobody can make bones grow. Nobody can take open eyes and and h, you know, blind eyes and open. Nobody can do that unless God is with him." And I want you to see that the chief elders and the and the priests saw the same thing that Nicodemus saw. But what happened? They questioned the authority. Why did they question the authority? Because Satan was able to program them to question the God, the authority of God. How many of us when we see a move of the Holy Spirit, immediately we begin to question, I wonder if this is really God or not? I mean, have you been there? You see something taking place? That's the first thing that comes into our mind. And it's a good thing because we need to to judge. We need to make decisions. But we need to understand that this is at the root of the problem. Now look what happens if you go down to right there in Matthew 21:23. Go 20 verses later 43. Jesus says, "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." Now what happened? because they questioned the authority of the very person that God had promised them that he would send them. God says, "I can't use you. So, I'm going to remove you and I'm going to give that to somebody else, which is us." Now, the reason why I put this into prospect into perspective is because now we're in the same boat. What if we begin to question the authority of God? Will Jesus come and said the kingdom is taken from you and given to somebody else? And you see and today uh a religious leader chief elders question that all the time. They question whether God really created the heavens and the earth in six days. They go through long dissertations about how we evolve or how the things were evolved. And there's all kinds of human rationing to question the authority of God. Because you see, if you can bring the authority of God in question, then our authority is questioned because we have no authority but that which God has given to us. Jesus said whatever you ask in my name will be gi will be done for you. So if we even have a question on the authority of Jesus, then the kingdom is not ours. You see kingdom is operating in power. That's that's what it is. Now, in your paper there, if everybody has a paper, I'd look up the dictionary, two words, two very simple words, and you will see how these words fit so perfectly into the the real that we're fighting with. The first word is program. We're all familiar with the word program. Here's there's four meanings that I got from the uh Webster's dictionary. Program. the first minute a brief statement or written outline of something. You know, when you go to uh uh to the church, you get a bulletin. That's basically your program as to what's going on, what's going to be happening. Number two, performance. There's always a program has built into it a performance, something that has to be done. Then number three, a plan of action. In other words, to accomplish what the program says. And number four, it's a sequence of coded instructions for a computer. And so the Bible says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren. So what I want you to say to see here is that Satan has a program against you, against your family, against your church, against your community, against the nation that you live in. You know what Satan's program is against you? Jesus uh uh briefly stated what the program is. I think it's John 10:10. The thief comes but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Satan has a short program against each and every one of us. And that program says, I want to steal everything you have. I want to kill everything you have. I want to destroy everything that you have. in that program, he has a performance. He needs to perform on that. In other words, you can desire to steal somebody something that somebody has, but you can't have that unless you act upon it. So, Satan is actively acting upon you and me to steal and to kill and to destroy everything that God has given us. And we need to know that. We need to know that Satan does not take vacations. He doesn't rest in the Sabbath. He doesn't have pity or mercy. He's like the uh Terminator. He's bent, hellbent on destroying you every single moment of the day. That's all he thinks about how to activate the plan against you so that the plan of action so that he can steal. But the part that I want you to see here is a a sequence of coded instruction because this is where we get now to the human heart. You see, Satan knows knows without a doubt that when a person hears the gospel of Jesus Christ, he will accept the Lord. So he has a set of coded instruction that he's been passing down from generation to generation to generation that when you come into the place to where you're going to be blossom as if it were into the reality of the blessing because Jesus says Jesus short program for us is but I came that you may have life and have it in abundance. That's that's God's plan of action. That's what Jesus wants to perform on us. He wants us to have life and have it in abundance. This is the plan of action. This is what Jesus wants to perform of us. So when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus sets in motion the blessings of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, all of the good things of the spirit of God are set in motion. So Satan has a set of coded instruction that he has placed deep within each and every human heart. And as soon as we begin to be blessed, he begins to come against that push the button that would keep us from entering into the blessing. So if we do not have our broken hearts healed, we can never enter into the blessings of God. Because you see a broken heart like we deal uh uh is a heart that has been split. In in other words, the scripture there where where James James 1:7 and8 for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord for he is a double-minded man. Satan's plan is to get you to be double-minded because if you're doubleminded, God's plan of action for your life cannot be brought into place. So you see the double-mindedness is simply two spirit, two personalities or two things motivating you. Remember how Jesus said to the disciples when he was telling them to pray, watch and pray. Jesus says the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Why? Because there is a imprinted coded program that Satan has in each and every one of each and every one of us heart that he is working on to bring about. And we need to understand unless we get that part of our heart healed, we can never receive or implement God's plan for our life. This is why Jesus says, "I came to heal the broken heart." The broken heart uh uh in in in James 17 and8 means a duplicate and we dealt with this on the last uh two lesson. When God created I need to repeat this for emphasis so that we understand when God created the human soul God made man out of a lump of clay. Then God who is a spirit breathe out of his spirit. breath came out of God's mouth. And as that breath came out, it went into the nostrils of of of of this lump of clay. And the Bible says that he became a living soul. Okay? This soul was a duplicate of God because soul and spirit are the same thing except soul has to do with the lives with the self life or with the personality. So that God created us to be a duplicate of himself. Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. So Satan and how did God created that duplication? By his word. See you cannot speak words without breath coming out of your mouth. So it was the very breath of God when God says let us make man man became a living soul. But Satan come in and say no. Did God say? Did God really say to Jesus is if you are the son of God? What? Questioning the authority of the word of God. So whenever we question the authority of the word of God, there's a split. There's a duplicate. Now there's one of us that lives in doubt and fear and there's one of us, the spirit that is willing. Okay. Now that leads me to the second word, condition. Remember program. It's a brief statement or written outline of something something to be performed performance to be activated with a plan of action or a sequence condition. Listen to put into a proper or desired condition. Now notice number two to adapt modify or mold to respond in a particular way. Many Christians live in so much grief and so much shame because they have been conditioned. They have been adopted. They have been modified to respond in a particular way. And I don't care how good you are, how much you bless God, how much Bible scripture you you you memorize, how much you read, how how much church attendance you go to. If you have been conditioned to respond in a particular way to a certain situation, all that Satan has to do is activate that against you and boom, you're there. Boom. Actually, you're there. If it's anger, you can have the nicest person in the world. You push that right button that says condition anger and you push that button and out goes that fuse and there went your testimony. It's the same way with every condition whether it's loss, whether it's fear, whether all of the things are there. Why? Because Satan somewhere along the line came in and adapted the plan that had God for you. He began to modify it by getting some people in your life. Oh, you're be a loser just like your dad or you'll never be. You'll be this or you'll be that or you'll be the other. And this begin to condition you to respond. See, this is why some people have a spirit of self-destruction upon them. They get blessed. They get the best job in the world. They buy a house and everything and there's something in there that is so miserable that condition that you'll never profit. You'll never be anything and they'll do everything that they can in the world to selfdestruct. Same way with marriage. Some people uh uh find the perfect man and woman that God has for them on their life and they do everything in the world to destroy that relationship. Why? Because they have been conditioned. They have been pre-programmed. They have been molded to respond. You'll never be a nobody. You don't deserve it. How many of us? Well, see, Jesus says, "I came to heal that part of your heart. So, you can't enjoy the blessings." When the woman got a hold of the of the hymn of his garment, Jesus could have just let it go and they kept going. Nobody needs to know. The Bible says Jesus did so many things. If it were written in the books, there wouldn't be enough room in the whole world to put it. Why did Jesus stop and say, "Hey, wait a minute." because he wanted that woman not only to have the healing but to have the peace that goes with the healing. He said, "My daughter, your faith has made you heal." That coin peace. We need to know that that God wants us to have that peace. Now Romans 7:20 is one that we used on the last section where we did says now if I do what I will not to do it is no longer I who do it but sin living in me. Okay. How many of you have seen a a movie or or show where here's the person and then he's got this little replica of himself here and it's got a halo and a is a little angel and then a replica of himself here with a bunch couple of horns and a and a pitchfork. And this is the angel Jew and the devil Jew. And and the angel Jew say, "Oh, no, no, no. You better don't do that. You know, that's not right." And they, "Oh, come on. let's do it, you know, and there's this this this struggle, you know, there is a duplicate of ourselves. And the Bible says very clearly that if when we're born again and we truly have a desire not to sin, if we continue to do, God is saying, you are programmed, you have been conditioned to do something by something that is within you. The Bible calls it sin. Sin that lives in us. that is just a duplicate of oursel who has been adapted or modified to sin, to hate, to lust, to fear, to all of these different spirits that are there. And God says it's not until Proverbs 11:9, until you know what you're up against. See, the reason why I taught last week on on on uh and I didn't even know it was going to be Father's Day uh uh that lesson. I didn't even think about it, but uh uh rejection because that is the key to everything. Rejection. If we can truly understand that God loves us, that when we sin, God sees that duplicate that is in the image of Satan. The duplicate that has been created in us is the one that's doing all those things. And that God truly in his heart is saying, "If you just give me a shot of your heart, I will break that thing off of you and I will recreate that duplicate that I've already placed in your born again spirit, I will make it to come alive in you." Okay. Now, let's go to Revelation 2:14. And I want to put it now into action to the church to where we are today. Remember in the book of Revelation, Jesus appears to John and he is dictating to John seven letters, two different seven churches. And everybody that knows anything about Scathology, uh that's the study of the things of the end. They know that this is the condition of the churches on the end times, the time that we're living in today. Each letter represents the condition of the church. And I want you to see in in verse 14 what Jesus says. But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balum who taught Bailac to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. What is the doctrine of Balor? The doctrine of balance is probably one of the greatest tools that Satan uses to take away the authority that Jesus has given to each and every one of us. The if if you read this the story of Balum, Balum was a prophet. Now, let me say this and and please listen. The fact that a person has a gift from God doesn't make that person uh uh right with God. Okay? I I I don't know which other way to put it. What I'm trying to say is that for example a a person that has given the gift of a good voice is a great singer or a person that's very talented of the arts. You can use that gift for good or for bad. Yes. Okay. You have a good voice, you can sing real good bad music or you can real good good music. You see? So there are gift. Balam was definitely a man who was gifted. Balam is a man who could see into the spirit realm and everybody knew it when the children of Israel are coming and remember God has promised a promised land to them. They're coming. So Bailo who is the king over there wants to destroy them. But Balac who is a very demonic individual knows that without a written program an act something that a plan of action he cannot destroy the children of Israel. He says now they are blessed of God. So they are blessed in the spirit realm. So I cannot take I cannot take them on on the physical realm because they have a spiritual backing. So I need to neutralize that spiritual authority that they have before I can take them on. Now why am I saying this? Because you have a spiritual backing. You have as a born again believer your name is written in heaven and Satan's plan of action is not going to work against you. Okay, if it if it confronts you here in the natural. So Bala says to Balam, "Okay, I need a a short program, something that I can act on. Since you're a man of God, since you look into the spirit, I want you to curse them. And as soon as you curse him, I'll take him on." So he says, "Okay, let me see." So Balon goes over there, he starts open his mouth, and nothing but blessings come on. What are you doing? Three times this is repeated. So Bailo could not take on the children of Israel because he didn't have a program or have an action. So what did Bailac do? He offered enough to Balam and Balam finally said, "You know what? You can't fight these people in the physical realm. They have the spiritual backing of God. You have to get them. You have to have their authority removed from them. And the way to do that is you go into the spirit realm and you get them to do something that will challenge the very authority that God has given them. And then you can take him on. Now notice what I said. It says uh Revelation 2:14, Balon who taught Bailo to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel. He taught him. He taught this guy. He said, "I can't curse him for you, but I can show you how you can take their authority away from them." What's the stumbling block? Eat food sacrifice to idol. You know what that means to us today? That means taking heed or paying attention to demonic doctrine. You see, this is why it's so important, my friend, that even what you watch on TVN, that even what you what you watch in Christian television, that even what you hear, because if there's a Bum over there who is really gifted of God and is sold out for the the the great uh castles and palace and their fame and all this fortune, these people are going to come in and they are going to present you a gospel that is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And when that gets you into a position where you begin to doubt the authority of Christ, then Satan had you here in the realm, his program against you is going to begin to work. But we have to be very careful because of look at second Timothy. Uh let's go there real quick. Second Timothy uh 3 and we'll read one to five. This is Paul warning us way ahead of time. But know this that in the last days perilous times will come. I want you to to to hold on to the word in your mind there. Perilous uh uh uh means times of stress. Okay? For men will be lovers of themselves. Now Balam can be put in that category. Balam was offered an awful lot of money and fame and fortune. He was later killed, by the way, by the Israelites. But he was offered lots and lots of things. And unfortunately many maybe not many I won't judge but I know for a fact that there are leaders within the realm of of the church within here the United States people that we look up to and stuff like that that I have no doubt have sold themselves to uh this you know the the fame and the fortune and the things to where you know you cannot even get close to these guys when they come around you know they're like superstars. charge uh and and and because of that lovers of money, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiven, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, hotty, lovers of pleasure rather than loving of lovers of God. And look what it says in verse 5. This is what I want you to see. Having a form of godliness. This is not talking about the the rock stars, my friend. I don't think any of you here ever uh will associate the the the punk or or or the rappers or these people as having a form of godliness. You know, Madona doesn't have a form of governance and Britney Spears and all these other people. So, he's talking about religious leaders. Had to be. Yes. He cannot be talking about anybody else. It had to be talking about somebody who is giving you a word, you know, somebody who is influence or chaping what is going on in the churches today because you know uh uh if we all feed from the same trough uh uh uh you poison the water, everybody's going to get poisoned. This is why it's so important sometimes you need to fast certain things like that. allow only God to speak to you through his word and through your prayer and through your meditation. Sometimes you need to cleanse your mind from from the influences going around and stuff like that. Okay? I'm in a form of godliness by den remember we're talking about the precondition program because what happens is if I can bring it down a little bit here to earth when the doctor says to you you may have cancer and if it's there on that part it may be inoperable you may die right then and there the authority of Jesus Christ and says you are the Lord who heals me if it is not safely secured Satan will steal that healing from you the minute that you die. So, we need to have that that that that program of God in our hearts is what I'm trying to say. Instead of the program of the devil, we need to be preconditioned by God instead of being preconditioned by by by the devil. You know, when your car gets hit at 70 miles an hour and all of a sudden you're spinning around, what comes out of your mouth is something that have to be there. You don't have time to think it's going to be all right. We're going to be okay. We're going to be fine. Nothing's going to happen. See, that only comes out if it's already been put in there. Thank God that he put it there. But we need to do that for every aspect of our lives. That means we need to and and as the weeks come, uh I I want to make sure I'm going to give you all of the tools that you need to have the Lord do a really selfch check of your soul so that you can whatever demonic program is there. You know, many of us is generational divorce is a generational curse. Uh today people will come and say oh there's no such a thing as generational curses. How Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. That's bail right there. You know if read what the curses of the law is. Sicknesses is part of the curse of the law. If we have been redeemed from the curse of the law automatically without without us doing anything. Why do Christians get sick? Why do the New Testament said if you get sick go to the elders have anoint you with oil. Haven't break the curse. That's right. Okay. The curses have to be broken. The program of Satan within us have to be broken. And I don't know, you know, we don't know when we minister to people, the hardest thing is to know what to do. But we do know that the principles of the word of God work. And if we put the principles of the word of God and if we do the prayers and things, God works. God makes it work. You know, if we're submitted, if we're willing, and sometimes it takes a while. Satan may have been working in that program within your family for a thousand years. They might if you could go back a thousand generation I mean a 100 generation uh in your life you could find out that this has been in your line all the way through and it might take some revelation from God. It may take certain things you need to do but we the good thing is that Jesus says I came to heal the broken heart. I came to take the two things that are divided and to make him one again. God wants to make us whole in every area. uh 2 Thessalonians 5 I think it says that that that your whole spirit that your soul and that your body may be kept blameless may be made all one. That is what God is wanting to do. And then he says and from such people turn away. Turn away. He says turn away from such people. What such people? People who are acting out of the flesh or selfish motivation. Let me tell you the soul has power. Psychics that operate in the you know psychic and soul is the same thing. Okay. Psychic that's a word for selfife. Okay. There is power in the supernatural realm and you can operate in that realm. You can go to a psychic or you can uh uh get new age uh uh books. You can get all the things with incantation and you will find out this is why wikah has so many bowlers especially young people because young people want to see power. Young people want to see something that's real. So they go for this stuff. They put a curse on somebody and that curse works. I heard of people that told us, I couldn't believe it when I put a curse on this person for her hair to fall out because they were jealous and envious of her and her hair begin to falling out, man. They were like, "Woo, this stuff it works. There's power there." But the problem with the the power in the psychic or or in the solish realm is that that is the supernatural realm where Satan operates. And Satan has stuff in you. And you get into that thinking, "Well, I can just use this power for good." Guess what? Satan is going to get your button and he's going to bound you more than ever before because this is how it works. That's how he does. So, we need to elevate ourselves. Get out of the psychic or the supernatural or the solish realm and only trust in the spirit realm or the the the Holy Spirit. Jesus said you will not need nobody to teach you. But when the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth comes upon you, you will know what to do. When we separate ourself by what makes sense to the eyes, we will know what to do. That's what he's saying. Now, I'll close here. Hebrews 12:26-29 talks about that God wants to remove everything that is not eternal. 1 Corinthians 13:13. Uh uh but these things remain, faith, hope, and love. And the greater is love. when you say to God and this will move on into tonight. Uh I won't be here next week but there will be a class Fred is going to be covering uh for me and he's dealing uh with one of the areas that I have taught him that we're dealing. So he'll be here so please be here. I got to feel for a pastor that's having a a bypass thing done next week and tonight. I got to go there tonight too but I won't be here next week. But the week after that, when I get back, I'm going to get with the areas that as you begin to ask the Lord to remove that satanic programming and conditioning that we have all been brought up to, there's going to be a fire. There's going to be because our our God is a consuming fire. So, I want you to meditate on that scripture because we're going to deal with the scripture next time. Okay? Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray your blessing upon each and every one of your children here. I thank you for loving them, for keeping them. Thank you, Father God, for teaching us how to be set free from any control that the enemy may have over us. That we may truly and in all things glorify Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name of the only begotten son who died to deliver us from our sins. In Jesus name we thank you Lord. Amen.

- FRAGMENTED SOULS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
FRAGMENTED SOULS The objective of Fragmented Souls is to teach believers about the reality of a fragmented soul, how it impacts spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being, and to reveal Godâs provision for healing and restoration through His Word and Spirit. The lesson aims to lead Christians into wholeness of soul and spirit by rejecting lies, embracing the truth of Godâs Word, and attaining singleness of heart to walk in righteousness before the Lord. FRAGMENTED SOULS Pastor Marcos Marrero January 1, 1900 Objective: The objective of Fragmented Souls is to teach believers about the reality of a fragmented soul, how it impacts spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being, and to reveal Godâs provision for healing and restoration through His Word and Spirit. The lesson aims to lead Christians into wholeness of soul and spirit by rejecting lies, embracing the truth of Godâs Word, and attaining singleness of heart to walk in righteousness before the Lord. Synopsis: In Fragmented Souls, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the depth of what it means for the human soul to be broken and divided, and how God restores it to wholeness. Beginning with Psalm 23:3ââHe restores my soulââthe teaching examines how both the soul and the spirit dwell within the spiritual heart, the unseen core of human existence that influences attitudes, emotions, and will. Unlike the physical body, which may lose parts and still survive, the soul does not lose parts but rather becomes fragmented, separated from within, leading to spiritual weakness and oppression. Drawing from passages like Luke 4:18, Pastor Marcos explains that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted and restore fragmented souls to their original, God-designed state. A fragmented soul occurs when it has been moved or motivated by lies rather than truth. Lies fragment the soul, but the truth of Godâs Word heals, restores, and liberates. Thus, restoration begins with being born again by the Spirit of truth, which energizes the soul to let go of deception and embrace the freedom offered in Christ (John 8:32). The lesson also distinguishes between soul and spirit: the soul functions like an engine that awaits a spiritual current (inspiration or influence), while the spirit acts as the energy flow that drives it. When the spirit is energized by Godâs Word, the soul is empowered to overcome fragmentation. However, when deceived by worldly lies, the soul remains weakened and oppressed. Pastor Marcos warns that the world system, rooted in deception, continually seeks to indoctrinate through false teachings such as evolution or man-made traditions, which keep souls divided. Healing requires discerning lies from truth, forgiving those who unintentionally passed down deceptions, and rejecting practices that perpetuate fragmentation. Scripture assures that those with a pure, undivided heart will receive blessing and righteousness from God (Psalm 24:3-5). Ultimately, restoration of the soul is achieved by fully relying on Godâs promises and living in the truth of His Word. Fragmented Souls concludes with a call for believers to stand apart from deceit, idolatry, and worldly influences, so that their souls may be whole, strong, and fully aligned with Godâs will, walking in the righteousness of salvation. Inspired Teaching: Psalm 23:3 âHe restores my soulâŚâ What is the soul and where does it reside within me? Does my soul need restoration? What is a fragmented soul? Psalm 86:11 âTeach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite (give me an undivided heart, singleness of heart) my heart to fear Your name." Within the Biblical context, the heart is the symbolic dwelling place for the spirit within us. And since our souls and our spirits are both spirits, they both dwell within us in a place called the heart, not our physical hearts. The physical human heart is strategically placed within our chest cavity, the torso, and from there it disseminates the oxygen rich life-giving substance that is in our blood. Our spiritual hearts are also located in a cavity somewhere within our torsos; however, it is an invisible place that is strategically located within us and from it flows the spiritual life and well being that comprises our persona, with its attitudes, intents, wills, and emotions. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 âNow may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.â Just like our human bodies can live and function without limbs, it appears, by the usage of the word whole by Paul, that our spirits and souls can exist and function as well while fragmented and weakened. Just like a human body can only achieve its full potential when all of its parts are present and functioning properly, it appears that it is the same way for our spirits and souls. They can only achieve their full potential when they are whole. However, unlike our human bodies that may be missing a limb or a physical part that they have to do without, it seems like our souls do not lose a part, but rather, their parts become separated or fragmented from one another. Luke 4:18 âThe Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted (fragmented hearts, to heal means to restore to its original settings), to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.â A brokenhearted condition, fragmented soul, causes those who are afflicted by it to be hindered in their walk. They become captives to their condition, blinded and unable to see clearly where their malady originates from, and therefore become oppressed by their circumstances. The good news of the Gospel is that fragmented souls can be healed! 1 Peter 1:9 âReceiving the end (goal) of your faithâthe salvation (deliverance, healing, restoration) of your souls.â Not only can our fragmented souls be healed, but our goal should also be in life to attain singleness of heart. So that we can fully comprehend what is the fear or respect for our Lordâs name, which is the beginning of wisdom. How do we do it? Let me first deal with the difference between our soul and our spirit, although our emphasis in this lesson is the fragmented soul, it is important for us to know how the two interact. Unlike a fragmented soul, where its integrity is breached and its parts become segregated, I believe that the spirit operates more in the sense of an energy flow. A spirit with a very low flow of energy cannot energize the human soul to the point of being able to restore it. A spirit that has a very strong energy flow makes it a lot easier for a fragmented soul to be restored. The word for spirit, as in your whole spirit is the Greek word Pneuma from where we get the term pneumatic tool from. Pneuma means spirit, a blast or a current of air that drives something. The word for soul, as in your whole spirit, soul is the Greek word translated as Psychic, from where we get the word, psychology, the study of the human personality or mind. It means spirit as well, air/spirit that is static and waiting to be moved by a current or inflow. A rudimental way of saying it, our souls are like an invisible motor that runs on blasts or currents of air/spirit. When a person is influenced or inspired by something, that person is receiving an inflow that is moving the soul, an invisible inspiration or spiritual infusion. A soul becomes fragmented when it realizes that it has been motivated by a lie. A lie is a spiritual force that drives people away from the truth. John 8:32 âAnd you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.â Jesus told us that the words that He speaks to us are spirit and that they are life, and that by believing them, His words, our souls can be made free from the power of the lies that fragmented the soul to begin with. John 6:63 âIt is the Spirit (Pneuma) who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.â In order to heal the fragmented soul our spirits have to be born again. Born of the Spirit of truth, for it is the truth of the Word of God that is able to infuse into our spirits the level of energy required to then motivate the soul to let go of the lies that divide it. Hebrews 4:12 âFor the word of God is living (Zoe in Greek, and it means life giving and life sustaining, like spiritual blood) and powerful (Energea in Greek, and it means energy), and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.â So that it is the truth of the Word of God that energizes the born-again spirit, which in turn motivates the soul to seek deliverance from oppression and bondage. It happens as soon as the soulâs spiritual eyes are opened to the truth that it has been fragmented by the lies it was told. Everything in this world system is based on a lie. Romans 1:24-25 âTherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts (fragmented their souls), to dishonor their bodies (caused their bodies to malfunction) among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.â Our bodies malfunction as the result of our souls becoming fragmented, and our souls become fragmented when we reject the truth of the Word of God and end up falling for the lie. The fragmented soul can only be healed and restored as the result of an individual rejecting the lie that it believed, and embracing the truth of the Word of God, which is what spiritual discernment is all about, seeing our true condition in the mirror of His revealed Word to us. Our children as well as the rest of us face constant indoctrination attempts from the purveyors of the lie. In schools as well as through television programs we are constantly bombarded with the notion of evolution. You hear them say frequently that millions of years ago this happened and that took place, like they were there you know. These are the same people that can not even get the recent historical events right. I can disprove the theory of evolution very easy, if as they often say that we humans are the parasites that have infested this world, then why are they still here if they really believe that? In their pious pomp would they not have castrated themselves and saved the world for the sake of the animals that they worship? They donât really believe that. They just want us to believe it so that they can feel superior. Galatians 5:12 âAs for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!â NIV Once our spiritual eyes are opened to their mischievousness, for they do not really want to liberate people with knowledge of the truth, but rather their aim is to imprison people with their lies; then we are free to receive the liberating truth of Godâs Word that make us wise. On a personal level, we have to deal with the lies that have been perpetrated against us by the people that we knew and who were responsible for our upbringing. With the grace of God to aid us, we need to realize that many of the lies that we were subjected to as we were growing up, were non-intentional on the part of those who taught us to follow the ways of this world. For the most part they did not know what they were doing to us. They were just teaching us what they had been taught in many instances. We need to forgive in order to receive the knowledge that leads to our deliverance from the institutionalized lies of this world system. Why is it necessary to rid ourselves of man-made traditions that seem harmless even to some of us today? Anything that aided the fragmenting of the soul will keep the person whose soul was fragmented from receiving the goal of their faith, the deliverance of their souls. Psalm 24:3-5 âWho may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure (undivided) heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.â The word sworn literally means to affirm oneself. Within the context, sworn deceitfully, it simply means to continue practicing and believing something that is not truth. Those who continue to practice the lies that this world system espouses will not receive blessings from the Lord. The spiritual blessings that empower us to walk in the righteousness of the salvation that He has granted to us by His mercy and grace. To make our souls whole again we must rely totally on the promises offered to us by God Himself within His Word. When our souls can truly and confidently declare what our last verses of Scripture for this lesson say, then you will know that your soul has been healed to the max. Psalm 26:4-5 âI have not sat with idolatrous mortals, nor will I go in with hypocrites. I have hated the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.â Previous Next Home
- EVERY KNEE | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
EVERY KNEE To encourage believers to examine where their submission lies, reminding them that true power and authority are only found when they bow their knee to Jesus Christ. The message aims to strengthen faith, highlight the dangers of submitting to worldly or demonic influences, and inspire Christians to use the authority given in the name of Jesus to overcome darkness and stand as part of Godâs army. EVERY KNEE Minister Lisa Kane May 23, 2021 Objective: To encourage believers to examine where their submission lies, reminding them that true power and authority are only found when they bow their knee to Jesus Christ. The message aims to strengthen faith, highlight the dangers of submitting to worldly or demonic influences, and inspire Christians to use the authority given in the name of Jesus to overcome darkness and stand as part of Godâs army. Synopsis: In Every Knee, Minister Lisa teaches the importance of submission in the believerâs walk with God, using Elijahâs experience in 1 Kings as a starting point. Though Elijah felt alone in his devotion, God had reserved 7,000 in Israel who had not bowed to Baal. This illustrates that even in times of great evil, God always preserves a remnant of faithful believers. The lesson challenges readers to reflect on who or what they are bowing their knee toâwhether it is God, worldly systems, or demonic powers. Submission to governments, false ideologies, or cultural evils such as abortion can lead to spiritual compromise. Instead, believers are reminded that every knee will ultimately bow to the Lord, as confirmed in Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11, and Philippians 2:10. Minister Lisa emphasizes that through the authority of Jesusâ name, Christians can stand against spiritual forces of darkness described in Ephesians 6:12. When believers bow only to Jesus, they are equipped to overcome principalities, rulers, and powers of wickedness, becoming part of Godâs victorious army. The message concludes with a call to action: submit fully to Christ, take authority in His name, and declare victory over darkness. By doing so, believers not only stand firm in their faith but also join together as warriors in Godâs kingdom, ensuring that the powers of darkness must bow to the name of Jesus. Inspired Teaching: 1 Kings 19:18 NKJV 18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.â Submission affects your daily walk with God and you need to ask yourself, who is your knee (submission) bowing to? As you can see from 1 Kings 19:18 that God âpreventedâ seven thousand in Israel from submitting unto King Ahab and Jezebelâs âgovernmentâ rule during that time, and Elijah, a prophet of God didnât know that God reserved seven thousand. Yes, those of us close to God donât know all of whom and what God has preserved. 1 Kings 18:22 NKJV 22 Then Elijah said to the people, âI alone am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baalâs prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Again, Eljah thought he was alone. Are you a believer who dwells in the secret place and feel like youâre the only one praying out there? You can trust God and know that there are many others out there praying too. If there werenât, you can read in the Bible about the generation before Noahâs flood (Genesis 6:5), and Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). This entire world would already be destroyed otherwise. Thank God people are believing and praying. And since weâre here, it means there are believers who are praying or who have not submitted their knee unto the darkness of this world. If youâre reading this and youâre not one of those believers/prayers set aside by God, you need to thank God for those that are. Then you need to ask yourself why are you not praying? Whoâs knee are you bowing down to? Where does your submission lie? Because you can easily be one of those set aside by God. Eljah had power because he did not submit unto the demonic entity called Baal like four hundred and fifty other prophets did. Baal ruled the government at that time. I donât know what dark demonic entity is ruling our government today, but when there are more homelessness, more drug addicts, more murders, more abortion, more evil than good, itâs an evil darkness thatâs currently ruling our government. I can assure you that if you do not have power in your walk during this darkness, maybe your knee is bowing to Baal or some other entity and you donât know it? Or maybe you know it. I have news for you that do know, your knee must submit unto Jesus! Hallelujah! But if you donât know, maybe you voted for someone who is lying to you and supporting something like abortion. God hateâs abortion. Thatâs murdering innocent blood and through that deception, you support this evil entity. But thereâs good news for you , God is merciful and as long as you ask for forgiveness, you will be delivered/saved. But here's something to know, even if you kept your knee bowed to anything other than God, your knee will eventually bow down to God: Isaiah 45:23 NKJV 23 I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath. Romans 14:11 NKJV 11 For it is written: âAs I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.â Philippians 2:10 NKJV 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, Why is it important to place your knee directly before God and not through other entities, such as governments, principalities, trust in other people, etc? You are at war and you are responsible for holding back the power of darkness. How do I know this? Because you were given the name of Jesus and by that name, âevery knew should bowâ. Keyword â SHOULD! When theyâre not, that means youâre not using your authority. Letâs identify those areas of darkness that you have the authority over as a believer in Christ who has asked God to forgive his or herself. Ephesians 6:12-13 NKJV 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. When you donât bow your knee to others, and you bow your knee to Jesus, you have authority direct from the name of Jesus and can overcome governments, principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Yes, you have the authority to do this in Jesusâ name. You become a part of Godâs army and you can affect the outcome of this worldâs governments and powers. This worldâs powers are darkness and you are the light in Godâs army. Read Philippians 2:10 again and pay attention. Philippians 2:10 NKJV 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, âat the name of Jesusâ: when you are bowed before Jesus, you have the authority to say His name and have the authority to place âthose in heaven, âthose on earthâ, and âthose under the earthâ to âbowâ before His name. Those things must submit to God. So once you say it out loud, calling out those entities and telling them to bow before God, âSTANDâ. Place a smile on your face and wait for God to move. Because that darkness must submit. Realize this, God is training you for warfare. Start learning. Start using His Name. The Holy Spirit will teach you and it starts with you placing your knee before God and submitting unto Jesus. Once you do that, you come into your authority of His name and the darkness must submit unto you when you use His name Jesus! Iâm standing now. Will you tell darkness to bow itself to Jesus? Once you do, weâll be standing together. Take these steps and letâs stand together! HALLELUJAH! Previous Next Home
- YOU ARE AN HEIR | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
YOU ARE AN HEIR The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand their divine identity and authority as heirs of God through Jesus Christ. By exploring the relationship between faith, confession, and action, this teaching aims to reveal how believers can move beyond mere belief into living as true sons and daughters who walk in their inheritance with confidence and purpose. YOU ARE AN HEIR Minister Lisa Kane October 8, 2025 Objective: The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand their divine identity and authority as heirs of God through Jesus Christ. By exploring the relationship between faith, confession, and action, this teaching aims to reveal how believers can move beyond mere belief into living as true sons and daughters who walk in their inheritance with confidence and purpose. Synopsis: In You Are an Heir, Minister Lisa Kane draws from Galatians 4:1-7 to unveil the transformation that occurs when a believer accepts Jesus Christânot only receiving salvation but also stepping into full spiritual inheritance as a son or daughter of God. Through Scriptures such as Romans 10:9 and James 2:19-24, this teaching highlights that faith must go beyond acknowledgment; it must be expressed through confession and action. Believers are reminded that their words and walk demonstrate the intent of their faith and activate their authority in Christ. As heirs of the Most High, Christians are called to live above the influence of darkness, exercising their God-given power through faith-filled words, works, and steadfast trust in the Father. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Galatians 4:1-7 KJV Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. The moment you ask Jesus to forgive you and you believe, you become an heir of God. Romans 10:9 KJV 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. That confession is what directs you to walk as an heir of God vs an unbeliever. You are immediately given authority in Christ because you believe. Believe is another way of having faith, but remember, devils believe too. James 2:19 KJV 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. That means we need to walk in âmoreâ than just belief. James 2:20-24 KJV 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. We need to work our faith. Going back to Romans 10:9, by âconfessing with your mouthâ, thatâs another way to act on your faith. Speak the word of God over your situation. Confession of mouth, âout loudâ speaking, tells everything listening, our cloud of witnesses, the intent of your belief. The other part of faith, believing is to walk with intent upon your belief. For example, if the doctor gives you bad news, you can take that to the Lord and say, âLord, I donât accept this news. I choose to walk under your healing and not under the guidance of the doctors suggestion.â Thatâs another way to walk in faith. These are steps that go beyond even what the devil believes. You can do this because you are an heir of the most high. You have authority under that title, which places you above the devil and demons. The question I have for you, will you walk as a Christian according to your title? Because if you do, you will walk in faith and see God move in your life. Home Previous Next
